I have made these several times in the past, it is a wonderful side dish, especially in the summer when fresh peas are in season. The trick to these, is not to overcook them, as you still want them crisp-tender! This recipe may be doubled if desired. Make certain to use only fresh snap peas not frozen or they will be soggy and soft. Prep time includes stir-frying. You will love this! Ingredients:
1/2 lb fresh snap peas |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
4 tablespoons pine nuts (cashews are good also!) |
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger |
2 tablespoons dry sherry |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Pinch off the stems on the ends, and the small strings off of the seams of the snap peas.
2. Heat a wok or fry pan over high heat with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
3. When oil is hot, add in the sesame oil.
4. Stir-fry the pine nuts and fresh ginger until light brown (careful not to burn!).
5. Add in the snap peas, and stir-fry (making certain to coat with oil).
6. Mix in the sherry and soy sauce.
7. Lower heat and cook for about 2 minutes.
8. DELICIOUS!
