Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 0.5 pounds (250g) snow peas
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until lightly browned stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Set aside.
  2. Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or in a large skillet. When smoking hot, add the snow peas and stir-fry them for 1 to 2 minutes until softened. Don't let them burn or become golden! They must keep their vibrant green color.
  4. Pour the sauce over the snow peas and heat through for 1 minute, stirring constantly so that the vegetables don't burn.
