The first snow peas of the season are out and they are so fresh, crisp, and green, I'd like to eat them every day! Here's a favorite way to quickly cook snow peas, putting their crisp texture front and center.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 8oz snow peas, washed and patted dry
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- (OPTIONAL) 2 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions
1
Heat the sesame oil in a large sauté pan until almost smoking. Add the snow peas and turn the heat down a little so they don
2
Remove from the heat and toss with lemon juice. Set aside to rest for a few moments, partially covered with a plate or splatter screen. Test after 5 minutes; they should still be crisp but more tender. Toss with salt and pepper and eat immediately.
