Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender peas. Look for peas that are bright green and plump. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
- Blanch the peas before cooking. This will help them retain their color and crunch.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan. This will help prevent the peas from scorching.
- Cook the peas over medium heat. High heat will cause the peas to overcook and become mushy.
- Stir the peas frequently. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the peas to taste. Salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar are all good options.
- Serve the peas immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
