A quick and flavorful stir-fry of snow peas with garlic and sesame, perfect as a side dish or light meal.
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to achieve a proper stir-fry texture.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
Toss in the fresh snow peas and stir-fry until they are vibrant green and slightly tender.
Stir constantly to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the snow peas and mix well to coat evenly.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste preference.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
Taste before adding salt, as soy sauce is already salty.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the dish and serve immediately.
For added crunch, you can use a mix of black and white sesame seeds.
