Really Great Stir-Fried Snap Peas
"I have made these several times in the past, it is a wonderful side dish, especially in the summer when fresh peas are in season. The trick to these, is not to overcook them, as you still want them crisp-tender! This recipe may be doubled if desired. Make certain to use only fresh snap peas not frozen or they will be soggy and soft. Prep time includes stir-frying. You will love this!"

Had these for lunch today. I substituted almonds for the pine nuts, but otherwise made as directed. Delicious and trouble-free. What more can you ask? -
To tell you the truth I thought, "Hmm, peas and soy sauce, ho-hum." These ain't no ho-hum peas. Give 'em a try, they'll exceed your expectations. I did the pine nuts version and was tempted to cook longer than the recommended 2 minutes. I'm glad I didn't - they were perfectly done.
