Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tbsp cornstarch

For the sauce

1 ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
½ cup chicken broth
1 tsp cornstarch

For the stir-fry

3 tbsp neutral oil, divided (such as vegetable oil or canola oil)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
8 oz snow peas, strings removed
4 scallions, white and light green parts, cut into 1-inch pieces
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving
