Steps:
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add pork, and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove pork with a slotted spoon.
- Add onion to pan, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add celery, carrot, garlic, and fish sauce, and cook until vegetables are softened, about 2 minutes. Add cabbage, sugar snap peas, and shrimp, and cook until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved pork. Season with salt and pepper, and let cool slightly.
- Stack spring-roll wrappers, and cut into quarters. (You should have forty 4-inch squares.)
- Whisk yolk and water in a small bowl. Place 1 wrapper on a work surface, with 1 corner facing you. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp kitchen towel.) Arrange 1 tablespoon filling in a mound in center of wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in sides halfway. Roll wrapper to form a tight cylinder, leaving top corner exposed. Brush top corner with egg wash, and press to seal. Cover with a damp kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil in large, heavy skillet until it reaches 350 degrees. Working in batches, add spring rolls, seam side down, and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high until shimmering.
- Add the pork chops to skillet and sear, without moving, until dark golden, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Lower heat, cover pan and cook the pork chops for 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate.
- Return the skillet to the stove and reduce heat to medium. Add butter to remaining oil in skillet, then add scallions and cook until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add snap peas, mint, red-pepper flakes and a pinch of salt, stirring everything to coat with pan juices.
- Making space in the skillet, return pork chops to pan, surrounding them with snap peas. If necessary, you can mound snap peas on top of pork, but make sure the meat sits directly on the bottom of pan. Scatter feta over pork and snap peas. Cover and cook over low heat until pork chops are just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes longer.
- Drizzle or squeeze lemon juice over the dish and sprinkle with more mint, scallions and black pepper before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for crisp sugar snap peas, tender pork tenderloin, and a good quality soy sauce.
- Don't overcook the pork: Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat that can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook it over medium-high heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful.
- Add the vegetables at the end: The sugar snap peas and carrots should be added to the dish at the end of the cooking time so that they retain their crispness.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pork and vegetables will be at their best when they are hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Pork with Sugar Snap Peas is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or noodles and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
