Let's Cook

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
