Clean the snow peas first by pulling the strings off the top and bottom seams.
1 pound snow peas
Get 2 quarts of water boiling in a medium saucepan with deep sides.
2 quarts water
Once to a boil, add the snow peas and stir for 30 seconds until bright green. Immediately drain the snow peas and set aside.
Place the pan back on the stove and wipe out any excess water.
Over medium heat, add the oil.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Stir in the white part green onions, garlic, chili sauce, and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, 1 minute.
2 green onions, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce, 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Add the soy sauce and honey and stir constantly until combined.
1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon honey
Add the snow peas and toss until warmed through.
Serve immediately with the rest of the green part scallions as garnish.

Trim the tough string from each snow pea.
Don’t skip the blanching—it keeps that vibrant green color and crisp bite.
Use medium-high heat when stir-frying to avoid overcooking.
Stir constantly once you add the sauce for best results.
Always separate the white and green parts of the green onions—they cook differently!
Serve this dish immediately for maximum flavor and crunch.
