Step 1

Trim stem ends from snow peas. Make a small cut under the tip of the other end and gently pull tip down the length of the pod to remove the fibrous string.

Step 2

Set a skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 3

When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the snow peas and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the peas are bright green and crisp-tender.

Step 5

Turn off heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, and crushed red chile flakes.
