Garlicky & Spicy Sugar Snap Peas

This is one of my favourite quick veggie recipes. It’s garlicky, salty, and a little spicy. Or a lot spicy if you like it that way. It’s a quick way to add some healthy and yummy green to your meal. Feel free to play with the amounts of the ingredients. I never measure anything for a recipe like this, so just do what seems right to you!

What you need:

• sugar snap peas (substitute with snow peas)
• sesame oil
• 2-3 cloves garlic
• a dash or two of soya sauce
• a dash of hot sauce (I used sriracha)
• a few dashes of your favourite vinegar (I usually use an Asian or balsamic vinegar)

What you do:

1. Clean the snap peas and snap their ends off. Peel and slice the garlic.
2. Heat a frying pan on medium heat and drizzle in a little sesame oil. Spread it around with your cooking utensil.
3. Add the sliced garlic and cook briefly, carful not to burn it.
4. Add the snap peas to the pan and cook briefly.
5. Add some soya sauce, hot sauce and vinegar. Stir to combine with the snap peas. Cook for a minute or so, but not too long. The snap peas should still have a bit of crispness to them.
6. Eat them up! Yum!

You could also garnish them with some toasted sesame seeds.
