How to Make Asian Sugar Snap Peas

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler and position the rack to the highest position.
  2. Trim the ends of 1 pound of sugar snap peas.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the snap peas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the snap peas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Broil for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the snap peas are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  6. While the snap peas are broiling, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon chili oil (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a medium bowl.
  7. Once the snap peas are cooked, immediately transfer them to the bowl with the sauce and toss gently to coat completely.
  8. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
