4 servings On Marion’s frequent visits to the downtown Cincinnati library to do research for Joy, she regularly lunched at a nearby Chinese restaurant. The chef ordered his snow peas, which were unavailable in local markets, by air freight, and Marion relished them several times a week prepared in this simple way. You may substitute sugar snaps, but they will need to cook a bit longer.
