This Stir-Fried Snow Peas and Water Chestnuts recipe is a quick and easy side dish that's bursting with flavor and crunch. The combination of crisp snow peas and water chestnuts, along with the savory garlic and soy sauce, creates a delightful stir-fry that pairs perfectly with any main dish.
Ingredients: 8 oz 225g snow peas, trimmed. 1 can 8 oz / 225g sliced water chestnuts, drained. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. 1/2 teaspoon sugar. 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch. 2 tablespoons water.
Instructions: Combine the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl. Put aside. In a big skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Stir-fry the minced garlic for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir-fry the water chestnuts and snow peas in the wok for two to three minutes, or until they begin to turn a brilliant green color and become slightly tender. After adding the soy sauce mixture to the veggies, stir-fry them for a further one to two minutes, or until the sauce thickens and covers the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with sesame oil. Take off the heat and serve warm. If desired, garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
