Sesame Snow Peas Recipe


Sesame Snow Peas Recipe
Quick and easy side dish. Tastes great cold and still tastes good without the scallions.

Is Asian sesame oil different than other sesame oils? This looks easy and tasty.


Good question! It probably doesn't matter much, except the asian variety seems to a have a stronger flavor.


Thanks . . . that's what I figured.


I have a similar recipe that uses green beans. This is one of my favorite things to eat as a snack.


Sorry, can't recommend this. After making it, we feel that fresh snow peas from the garden are best raw. We prefer the peas' natural crisp sweetness to the slightly bitter flavor imparted by the sesame ingredients. We suspect taste perception for bitter flavors differs from one person to the next.


Well aeditua, thanks for your input, but...if you are not a sesame fan, I'm not sure why you would make this in the first place.

Your comment seems a bit snobbish to me. I don't live in place where "fresh snow peas from the garden" are available. Additionally, I was always taught, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
