Sugar snap peas are small, rounded pods, containing tiny peas. They are similar to mange tout, and the whole pod is eaten, but they are plumper. Sugar snaps have a fresh, sweet flavor and a crunchy texture. Look for bright green, crisp pods, which are full of peas but not bursting at the seams. Sugar snap peas can be steamed or stir-fried. Today I prefer stir-fried and please be aware do not over cook or they will lose their flavor and crunchy texture. This dish just need 5 minutes for cooking…it’s easy and fast fresh…this recipe we call "Pad Thou Kak kap Koong" the other Thai food local style…you will love it!!!
