Ginger and garlic give these pea pods a hint of Asian flavor, but we think they're a good all-purpose side dish.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3/4 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 cup water
Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shallots, ginger, and garlic, stirring, 1 minute.
Add peas and sauté, stirring, 2 minutes. Add water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
