  • To remove the strings from the sugar snap peas, simply hold the pea at both ends and pull the string down the side of the pod.
  • Toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until they are fragrant and golden brown. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Use a light hand when adding the soy sauce and sesame oil. Too much of either can overpower the delicate flavor of the sugar snap peas.
  • Serve the sugar snap peas immediately after cooking. They are best when they are still hot and crispy.
