Serves 2 to 4This is a fast one so make your sauce first and be sure you have everything else for your meal ready to go. The cooking time for this is only about 3 to 4 minutes, and you should serve this immediately after cooking. Wash your snow peas, cut off the stems and pull off any attached strings before cooking.
For the sauce:
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari)
˝ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon of sesame oil (or toasted sesame oil)
2 tablespooons water
Mix the above ingredients in a small bowl and set it aside until you’re ready to cook.
To cook the peas and the garlic scapes:
2 cups of snow peas, prepped as noted above
1 cup chopped garlic scapes (cut to a size about the same as your pea size, about 10 to 12 scapes)
1 tablespoon mild vegetable oil
Make your sauce first, and then prepare your snow peas and garlic scapes for cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Add the garlic scapes and sauté them, stirring constantly until they turn bright green- about a minute. Add the snow peas and with the tablespoon of water and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Stir your sauce and add it to the skillet, mixing well until it thickens. Serve immediately.
