• Uncover to make sure that liquid has evaporated.
• Add oil, soy sauce and peanut sauce; fry quickly for about a minute.
• Season to taste with black and/or cayenne pepper.

• NOTE: If your snow pea pods are very young and tender, you may want to add them a couple of minutes after beginning cooking.
