June '20 - Asain Wok Snow Peas

Shown here with Chicken & Leek Lettuce Wraps which you can find in a separate reciepe later this week.

Ingredients:

• about 8oz snow peas (cleaned, ends trimmed, & cut in half)

• 2 tsp of a neutral flavor high smoke point oil (like peanut, avocado, sunflower, etc)

• a sprinkle of white sesame seeds

• fresh chopped leeks or green onions for garnish

Ingredients for Sauce:

• 1 tbsp Tamari (this is a gluten-free soy sauce alternative) OR you can use a normal low sodium soy sauce

• 1 tbsp Mirin or Shaoxing wine

• 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce

• 1 tsp Sesame Oil

• 1 tsp Sugar

• 2-3 cloves garlic (minced)

• 2 tsp fresh ginger (grated or minced)

Method:

• Bring a pot of water to boil and while waiting on that to happen mix all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

• Once the water is boiling give the cleaned and cut snow peas a quick 1 min blanch in there then remove/drain thoroughly.

• Now heat a non-stick wok over very high heat. Once its heated then add your high smoke point oil to the wok and swirl around to cover the bottom and a bit up the sides as well. Once the oil is hot add the blanched snow peas and stir fry for a min or so.

• Now you can add the sauce you made to the wok and continue to stir fry until that thickens a bit, and the veggies are coated.

• Remove from heat and spoon into a serving dish then top with a garnish of sesame seeds & fresh chopped leeks or green onion.
