Helpful tips
- Do trim the ends and remove the thin strings that line the sides of the snow peas before cooking. They are tough and can be unpleasant to chew on! (If unsure how to do it, check out this post on preparing snow peas.)
- Be careful not to overcook your snow peas. You will still want to retain some of their crunchiness and not be soft and mushy.
- Leftover snow peas stir-fry can be refrigerated for 2-3 days.
