SPICY WOK-CHARRED SNOW PEAS



Spicy Wok-Charred Snow Peas image

High-heat stir-fries are ideal for peas - either snow peas or the sugar snap variety. Assertive seasoning and the slight charring from the wok complement the peas' sweetness wonderfully. The method works well for other spring vegetables, too, like asparagus or baby bok choy clusters. Use a wide cast -iron pan if you don't have a wok. Take care to avoid overcooking; the peas should be a vibrant green color and firm to the bite.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound medium shrimp
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 egg white
1 teaspoon chili paste with garlic (see note)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 cups peanut oil
4 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1/2 pound snow peas, strings removed

Steps:

  • Shell the shrimp, rinse them and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the coarse salt and add cold water to cover. Leave them for at least five minutes.
  • Mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon water until smooth. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
  • Rinse the shrimp, drain them well and coat them with the egg white. Leave them to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the chili paste, sesame oil, sherry and stock in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a wok or deep fryer until it is just hot enough so that a shrimp will float when added to it. Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 15 seconds, just enough to turn them opaque. Stir with a fork or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. Be very careful not to overcook. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the shrimp on paper towels. (The oil can be reused twice only, with seafood.)
  • Pour off all but a tablespoon oil. Stir-fry the scallions, garlic and ginger for one minute. Add the snow peas and fry for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chili paste-sherry mixture and stir well. Add the shrimp, just long enough to heat through. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right snow peas: Look for young, tender snow peas with bright green color. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the snow peas properly: Trim the ends of the snow peas and remove any strings. If using frozen snow peas, thaw them according to package directions.
  • Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting that perfect charred flavor on the snow peas. Preheat your wok over high heat until it is smoking.
  • Add the snow peas in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the wok, or the snow peas will not cook evenly. Add the snow peas in a single layer and stir-fry them constantly.
  • Do not overcook the snow peas: Snow peas should be cooked until they are bright green and tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked snow peas will be mushy.
  • Season to taste: Once the snow peas are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

This spicy wok-charred snow peas recipe is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and healthy side dish. The snow peas are charred to perfection, giving them a smoky flavor that pairs well with the spicy sauce. This dish is also a great source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try!
