Sauteed Snow Peas with Scallions and Radishes

For a couple years, my mom gave me a subscription to the Martha Stewart Everyday Food cooking magazine. I loved getting this little monthly magazine not because the recipes were always awesome (sometimes I wouldn’t want to cook a single recipe in an entire issue), but because even if the recipes were so-so, there was always good inspiration, easy ideas, and helpful cooking tips. The original recipe that served as inspiration for this dish is found here. I was planning to use sugar snap peas (as Martha intended) but they were some ungodly price at the store, like $3.99 for one of those stupid, prepackaged, small bags. So! I went with snow peas, which are equally delicious, and were reasonable priced. The original recipe says to sautee in some butter and add a little salt and pepper. I’m sure this would be great, if a little plain, but still a good accompaniment to any meal. I went in a slightly different, but equally easy, direction.

As many snow peas as you want

1 bunch scallions; sliced into about 1 inch pieces and then sliced length-wise.

About 8-10 radishes; trimmed and quartered. (Side note: aren’t radishes awesome? I am on a radish kick lately; I just love the sharp little crunch they add to dishes. Yum!)

1 inch piece of fresh ginger, cut into slices

2 tsp sesame oil

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok. When hot, add the ginger. Sautee for about 1 minute. Add the snow peas. Sautee and stir, making sure everything gets good and coated in the oil. Sautee for about 3-4 minutes, or until the snow peas start to taste close to done. Throw in the scallions and radishes. Again, make sure everything gets some oil on it. Cook for about 1 or 2 more minutes and you’re done! Deliciousness and happiness ensue!
