6 steps

What you need

  • 1 1/2 tbsp peanut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Rinse the snow peas and dry them well, since water in the wok makes them steam instead of sear.

  2. 2

    Heat a wok over the highest heat until it smokes lightly, then add the peanut oil.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 10 seconds, without letting them brown.

  4. 4

    Add the snow peas and stir-fry constantly until bright green and glossy with a few browned spots, 2-3 min.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle in the salt, splash the Shaoxing wine around the edge of the wok and toss for 20 seconds.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat, toss with the sesame oil and serve right away. The peas should stay crisp-tender.
