Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for yellow squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Prepare the squash properly: Wash the squash thoroughly and then cut it into 1-inch pieces. If you are using frozen squash, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender: Squash can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and stir-frying. Cook the squash until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Add snow peas at the end of cooking: Snow peas cook quickly, so add them to the dish towards the end of cooking. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
