Sugar snap peas have strings, but whether or not they are removed is personal choice or habit, not an obligation. Then they can be stir fried with other vegetables, heated through on their own with butter and herbs or put into cold preparations such as pasta salads. As with sugar snaps, snow peas have strings, but they needn t be removed. Some have a calyx and that should be removed for esthetic as well as practical reasons. A quick snap of the wrist, with or without a paring knife, will do it.
Snow peas are ideal for stir frys.
They can be served as a vegetable by themselves with perhaps some minced ginger, garlic or hot pepper - or all three. Or, they can be part of a stir-fry melange with shrimp or strips of chicken or pork. All rights reserved. Click here for information on privacy, copyright and reproduction rules.
