Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Sugar Snap Peas: Select sugar snap peas that are bright green and crisp. Avoid peas that are yellowed or have brown spots.
  • Prep the Peas: Trim the ends of the sugar snap peas and remove any strings. If the peas are large, cut them in half diagonally.
  • Cook the Rice: Use a good quality rice that is suitable for stir-fries, such as jasmine or basmati. Follow the package instructions to cook the rice. For a more flavorful rice, try cooking it in chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.
  • Prepare the Sauce: Make the sauce while the rice is cooking. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Stir-Fry the Peas: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the sugar snap peas and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add the Sauce and Rice: Pour the prepared sauce over the sugar snap peas and stir to coat. Add the cooked rice and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute or two, or until the rice is heated through.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish the stir-fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

This stir-fried sugar snap peas and rice dish is a healthy, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for busy weeknights.
