Snow peas with mirin, scallions and cilantro

[Guest guest]

We are in garden snow pea heaven here. I prepared them this way last night and

really enjoyed them. I hope you do too.

 

1 lb snow peas, trimmed and cut in 3-4 pieces each pod

1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro

1/2 cup minced scallion greens

salt to taste

Few tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)

freshly ground white pepper

Olive oil with a few drops of dark sesame oil (for sauteing)

 

Sautee peas in olive/sesame oil until almost tender (I use a cast iron skillet,

but a wok is good too). Add remaining ingredients and cook for another couple

of minutes. I like to leave a little crunch and let them remain a bright green

color.
