Soy-Glazed Snow Peas

Soy-glazed snow peas are made with only five ingredients, and they’re ready in a few minutes, making them the perfect side dish for most Asian-inspired meals.

Soy sauce & butter combined (also known as infinite sauce) is something I have loved since my late teens. It’s such a great way to make vegetables and protein pop with flavor. I was making an Asian-inspired meal of Korean flanken short ribs and garlic rice.  After looking through the fridge, I found some snow peas that needed to be used up, so I made this quick and easy soy-glazed snow peas recipe, and kept the flavors simple. These tasty snow peas were flavorful, crisp-tender, and paired well with the rest of the meal.

How to Make Soy-Glazed Snow Peas:

Heat the butter in a wok or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the soy sauce and snow peas and toss to coat evenly. Season them with the red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

Cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes.

Pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to taste.

Serve immediately, along with spicy chili crisp, if desired. Enjoy.
