Snow peas are one of those vegetables that shine brightest when treated simply, and this stir-fry is proof. A screaming-hot skillet, coconut oil, and a quick sear give each pod those irresistible light char spots while keeping the interior crisp and brilliantly green. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is — fresh ginger, coconut aminos, a pinch of salt — so there's no guesswork about what's actually going into your pan or onto your plate. Coconut aminos step in beautifully as the savory, slightly sweet sauce base, delivering that deep umami flavor without any of the synthetic additives that sneak into conventional soy sauces and bottled stir-fry blends. The ginger gets its own 30-second moment in the center of the pan, blooming in the hot oil before it mingles with everything else, which makes the whole dish smell absolutely incredible. A handful of fresh cilantro scattered over the top at the end keeps the brightness going all the way to the table. It's the kind of side dish that disappears fast.

Pat the snow peas dry with a paper towel — any surface moisture will cause the oil to spatter and steam the peas rather than sear them.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until the oil shimmers and a drop of water flicked in sizzles immediately, about 1–2 minutes.
