How to Make Broccoli and Snap Pea Stir-Fry

Time: 20 min.
Complexity: easily

Snow peas in pods are a popular ingredient in Chinese dishes, prized for their refreshing flavor, crunch, and abundance of vitamins. To preserve these qualities, the tender peas are best cooked using a stir-fry technique, which allows them to be quickly fried. This will soften them slightly and give them a bright green color, just like the broccoli that makes a wonderful companion in this juicy side dish. The vegetables are fried in vegetable oil and simmered for a few minutes with ginger, garlic, and green onions, infusing them with the rich flavor characteristic of Asian cuisine.

In a large nonstick skillet, cook 2 tablespoons each chopped ginger, green onion, and garlic in vegetable oil over high heat until the vegetables are slightly softened, 1 minute. Add 5 cups broccoli florets (12 oz) and 1/4 cup water; season with salt. Cover and simmer until tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover, add 1 cup snow peas, and simmer, stirring, until bright green, about 2 minutes.
