JOHN SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add snow peas, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Cook, stirring, for 2-4 minutes until the snow peas are slightly softened.
• Add sesame oil and sesame seeds. Stir and remove from the heat. Season with salt to taste.

GLAZED SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces snow peas, 1 bunch chopped scallions, a pinch of sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer 2 minutes, then uncover and boil until the water evaporates, 2 more minutes. Season with salt.

KUNG PAO SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and stir-fry until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Add the snow peas and stir-fry until nearly crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Add the sauce and stir-fry to coat, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to a platter or large bowl, sprinkle with the nuts and serve.

SNOW PEAS WITH BUTTER AND LEMON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Break the stem ends off of the snow peas and pull off the strings. Rinse well.
• Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 quarts of water and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• Add the snow peas and let the water return to a boil.
• Boil the pea pods for 30 to 45 seconds. Don't overcook them or they will lose their crunch.
• Immediately drain the peas in a colander.
• Wipe out the pan, making sure it is dry. Add the butter to the pan and place it over medium heat.
• When the butter begins to sizzle, add the drained snow peas.
• Sauté the pea pods in the butter, stirring, for about 1 minute.
• Add the lemon zest and toasted almonds (if using) and continue cooking for 1 minute.
• Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve and enjoy.
