Sugar snap peas are perfect from the farmers market but they’re a great choice to buy at the grocery all year long too! They’re fresh and crisp great cooked or raw!
Sugar Snap Peas vs. Snow Peas
We love to eat sugar snap peas as a snack right out of the garden but they’re great in stir-fry recipes or even salads. Snap peas should not be confused with snow peas! Snow pea pods are flatter and snap pea pods are more rounded. Snap peas are definitely juicer with larger peas inside and they’re a bit sweeter. You can eat the entire pod (and peas) of both varieties and either variety can be used interchangeably in most recipes.
How to Cook Snap Peas
The bold flavors of garlic & ginger are mixed with soy sauce and sesame seeds to create the sauce for this dish! Additions: Add in some chopped canned water chestnuts, toasted crushed peanuts, or a dash of red pepper flakes!
Serve With…
This easy recipe has some bold flavors and it pairs well with simple dishes like baked chicken breasts or grilled salmon. We love to serve them with a side of white or brown rice too.
