Sweet Ginger Snow Pea Pods

By AllysKitchen

When you get really fresh farmers’ market sugar pea pods, you can eat them raw, and it’s like eating sweet candy! Cooking them ever so gently and with a few spices and a little something extra, cherry tomatoes, makes the sugars and flavors burst forth! While we might think this delectable veggie is mostly with Asian food, it can fit in anywhere with anything at anytime! Now, you could really get fancy and make an entire meal from this by simply pan searing some beef, chicken or pork, slicing it at an angle and thinly. And, if you really want some more carbs, then add some rice!

• 4 cups fresh snow pea pods
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ‘Simply Asia’ Sweet Ginger Garlic Seasoning (available in most grocery stores)
