Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender snow peas and carrots. Look for snow peas that are bright green and have a slight curve to them. Avoid any that are yellowing or have brown spots. Carrots should be firm and have a deep orange color.
  • Trim the snow peas and carrots. Remove the ends of the snow peas and cut them in half lengthwise. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices.
  • Blanch the snow peas and carrots. This will help them retain their color and crispness. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the snow peas and carrots, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Drain the vegetables and rinse them with cold water.
  • Make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and ginger. Set aside.
  • Cook the vegetables. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the snow peas and carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the glaze and cook for an additional minute, or until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately. Glazed snow peas and carrots can be served as a side dish or appetizer.
