  • Trim the snow peas: Remove the tough ends of the snow peas before cooking.
  • Blanch the snow peas (optional): Blanching the snow peas for a few minutes before stir-frying will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to quickly cook the snow peas and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Stir-fry the snow peas for a short time: Snow peas cook quickly, so stir-fry them for just a few minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  • Season the snow peas to taste: Season the snow peas with your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, or soy sauce.
  • Serve the snow peas immediately: Snow peas are best served immediately after cooking.
