Dry-Fried Snow Peas and Scallions

Loaded with the bold flavors of toasted sesame oil, chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce, and scallions, this snow pea recipe takes the tender vegetable and turns it into a savory snack for a nutritious afternoon pick-me-up or a side dish to serve alongside something like steamed rice and our Ginger-Glazed Cod. Snow peas are lower in carbs and calories than English peas, and are available fresh year-round because they can withstand cold temps. They are well suited to dry frying, an easy technique that's used to cook meat or vegetables in a skillet or wok without oil or batter. The process draws out all the moisture from whatever you're cooking, so the final result is something that's browned and super crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
