Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil; add a pinch of salt. Add the sugar snap peas and cook until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Let cool completely, then drain very well. Pat the peas dry with paper towels.
-
Step 2.
In a skillet, heat the toasted sesame oil, chopped garlic, and sliced red chile (or red pepper flakes) over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden, about 2–3 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add the blanched and dried sugar snap peas to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peas are just warmed through, about 1–2 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the red wine vinegar and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
