A quick and flavorful side dish featuring tender snow peas with a sesame twist.
Place the fresh snow peas in a microwave-safe dish.
Ensure the dish is large enough to allow the peas to be evenly spread for uniform cooking.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the snow peas, then sprinkle with minced garlic.
Toss the peas gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cover the dish and microwave on high for 3 minutes, checking halfway through.
Microwave times may vary, so adjust accordingly to achieve tender-crisp peas.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the cooked snow peas before serving.
For added flavor, you can lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan before using.
