“Sesame and chili oils add rich flavor and a little kick to naturally sweet snap peas. This versatile side dish has an Asian feel to it, so goes well with Asian dishes. Scale this recipe up or down easily for larger or smaller crowds.” - by NJFoodies

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili oil
2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed

"Loved this recipe! One thing I wanted to mention is that I added mushrooms to the mix because I think they go hand in hand with snap peas. Again, the recipe turned out perfect for me BUT I do feel it ..." See morewould be a bit too oily as written without the shrooms to soak up some of the oil. You can always add more oil so if I ever do it without the mushrooms, I will start with 1 tsp. of the sesame oil and go from there."
