Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. sugar snap peas 
  • 2 green onions, white and light green portions, cut into slices 1/4 inch thick 
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Asian sesame oil 
  • 1 tsp. black sesame seeds 
  • Pinch of kosher salt  

Instruction

  • Trim the stems and, if necessary, remove the strings from the sugar snap peas. To check if strings are present, cut or snap off a stem and then pull downward the length of the pod.
  • Arrange the sugar snap peas in a steamer rack set over boiling water, cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the peas to a serving bowl and add the green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds and salt. Toss to coat the peas evenly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 4.
