Snap and Snow Peas Stir-Fry with Broccoli 清炒豌豆丝

Usually, either snow peas or snap peas (what is their difference ?) get its own feature and attention in one single dish. But I have both types of peas, in small (odd) quantities that, if left in a world of their own, make a lesser-than-one-serving vegetable dish.

Bulk it up!


This Snap and Snow Peas Combo Stir-Fry is such a wonderful combination of flavors. Best of all, it solves the "odd" quantity problem, and makes both snow and snap peas THE star, in a single dish.


Another way to handle small (odd) quantity of ingredients is to use them as "addition" to fried rice e.g vegetable scraps fried rice or noodles.
