Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 ounces sugar snap peas, cooked (we use Green Giant fresh, steam-in-pack sugar snap peas that are quickly cooked in the microwave - see note)
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce, such as Kikkoman Light (or a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to make this recipe gluten-free)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons Sweet and Spicy Pepper Relish (more or less to taste) (or substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons seedless red raspberry jelly and 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic paste, as directed in the notes section below)
pinch kosher salt, only if needed
black sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

  • Toss hot, cooked sugar snap peas with soy sauce and sesame oil. (If using steam-in-bag peas, be sure to drain off any water that may be in the cooking bag, so it doesn't dilute your sauce mixture).
  • Add Pepper Relish (or jelly / chili garlic paste substitution) to taste. We find that 2 teaspoons is a good starting amount but we often add more - you may want more or less depending on how spicy your batch of Pepper Relish turned out, and on how spicy you like your food.
  • Once you're done adding Pepper Relish (tasting and possibly adding a bit more), and adjusting the other flavors, add a pinch of salt, only if needed.
  • Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired. They don't add much flavor, but they look really pretty.
  • When serving, be sure to scoop all the way to the bottom of the serving bowl to get some of the flavorful sauce along with each serving of peas.
