How Are Snow Peas Prepared?
Snow peas are typically prepared by washing them well and trimming off the stem and any tough strings along the sides. They can be eaten raw or cooked by blanching or stir-frying. To blanch, they are placed in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes and then quickly transferred to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. To stir-fry, they are quickly cooked in a hot oiled pan with other ingredients like garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. The resulting dish is a delicious and crunchy side or main dish.
