Ingredients

1 lb sugar snap peas

2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted optional

Instructions

Prep: Trim the ends off of the sugar snap peas.
Cook: Heat olive oil in a 12 inch or larger skillet over medium heat. Add sugar snap peas and stir to coat the peas in the olive oil.

Serve: Finish with sesame seeds and serve!

Notes

Substitutions

Olive Oil: This is when you break out the good stuff. Or, you can use sesame oil instead to add even more sesame flavor!

Garlic Powder: You can use fresh garlic minced (1 - 2 teaspoons) in place of garlic powder, but just be sure to ensure that it does not burn, which it can do quickly.

Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar: The acidity and sweetness adds to this side. You can also use Mirin.

Prep in Advance

Trim the peas in advance for an even quicker side dish!
