Snow peas are peas whose peel can also be eaten. They can be served as a side dish or in a single dish, perhaps sautéed in a pan. Snow peas are great for those short on time, as they cook in just 2-5 minutes.

Step 3. Detach one end of the pod

Pull the thread on the rib of the pod to the other end, and detach that too.

  • The thread can be more or less fibrous.
  • Snow peas are still not very ripe peas, so in some cases the filament is soft enough to be eaten.
  • You can also use a peeling knife to cut the ends.

Step 4. Sear the snow peas to keep them better

If you don't consume them within 2 days, put a pot of water to boil. Boil the snow peas for a minute, then remove them and place them in a container with water and ice.

  • After draining them, you can keep them in the freezer for up to a week.

You can also use a tablespoon of olive oil or a mixture of oil and butter.

  • To give the dish a more Asian flavor, try replacing olive oil with sesame oil.
  • Use garlic instead of scallions.
  • Try pine nuts instead of almonds.

Advice

  • Snow peas can also be eaten raw, alone or in salads.
  • When you combine them with a stir-fried dish, prepare them before you start, but only add them in the last two minutes of cooking.
