Snow Pea & Sesame Sauté

June 8, 2010 by Faith 33 Comments

I usually plan out a menu for the week and take it with me when I go grocery shopping.  But sometimes I get to the market and all my good intentions fall to the wind because I see something (usually some form of fresh produce) that just calls to me.  That’s exactly what happened when I saw these pretty snow peas.  They cook up in a matter of minutes and form a fantastic summer meal paired with grilled teriyaki chicken and jasmine rice.

I’m sending this recipe to Reeni of Cinnamon & Spice for her Side Dish Showdown.  June’s theme is Anything Goes! 

Snow Pea & Sesame Sauté

(Yield:  2 servings)

2 tsp olive oil

1/2 tsp each fresh grated ginger and garlic

2-3 c snow peas

2 tsp soy sauce

1/4 tsp honey

1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Dash pepper

In a wok or medium skillet over medium heat, heat the ginger and garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute), stirring constantly.  Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the snow peas, soy sauce, and honey.  Sauté 1-2 minutes (until just slightly softened), stirring constantly.  Turn off the heat and stir in the sesame seeds and pepper to taste.

    Sounds good! Do you think using some sesame oil would be good too?

    I’ve always wanted an elephant named Flopsie. No idea why, but that’s where it came from.

    I bought fresh snow peas at the farmer’s market for the first time last year and let me tell you I will never go back to the ones in the bag at the store. These were just so sweet and delicious…I was hooked. I love the sauce you put on them!

    It’s hard to say no to peas that green… I shop the same way. I have a list, but I also like to improvise when I see something that catches my eye!

    I’m not particularly a fan of snow peas as I tend to steer away from sweet vegetables, except for corn. Your presentation though is lovely and the photos are so enticing, I could almost reach out and take one! I love the sprinkling of sesame – they could actually induce to eat and enjoy this :)

    I only recently discovered my love to sesame seeds because my mom put it on an Asian-ish salmon she made the other day. Great recipe Faith! Looks delicious.

    They looks so healthy and delicious Faith. Hehe that always happens to me. I wish I had a rollerdex of recipes in my head when I go to the supermarket. Sometimes I just buy things not knowing what I’m going to do! :P
