ASIAN SUGAR SNAP PEAS

5-MINUTE ASIAN SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Toss hot, cooked sugar snap peas with soy sauce and sesame oil. (If using steam-in-bag peas, be sure to drain off any water that may be in the cooking bag, so it doesn't dilute your sauce mixture).
• Add Pepper Relish (or jelly / chili garlic paste substitution) to taste. We find that 2 teaspoons is a good starting amount but we often add more - you may want more or less depending on how spicy your batch of Pepper Relish turned out, and on how spicy you like your food.
• Once you're done adding Pepper Relish (tasting and possibly adding a bit more), and adjusting the other flavors, add a pinch of salt, only if needed.
• Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired. They don't add much flavor, but they look really pretty.
• When serving, be sure to scoop all the way to the bottom of the serving bowl to get some of the flavorful sauce along with each serving of peas.
