Pecan Free Sautéed Snow Peas with Ginger
Crisp, vibrant, and ready in minutes, this stir-fried side dish is the kind of thing that makes a weeknight dinner feel genuinely exciting. The snow peas get a quick, high-heat sear in coconut oil that coaxes out beautiful char spots while keeping that satisfying snap you want in a fresh vegetable. Grated ginger hits the center of the hot pan just long enough to bloom into something fragrant and bold before it all comes together with a splash of coconut aminos for a savory, slightly sweet glaze. The whole technique — patting the peas dry, cooking undisturbed, working fast over high heat — is what separates a limp stir-fry from one that actually tastes like restaurant food. A scatter of fresh cilantro at the end adds a bright, herby finish that ties everything together beautifully. This dish is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about what's hiding in a bottled sauce — every ingredient here is clean and straightforward. Serve it immediately straight from the pan while the glaze is still glossy and the peas are at their peak.

4 servings
- 1 lb snow peas, strings removed
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
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.
- 2
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.
