Pork Free Sautéed Snow Peas with Ginger
Crisp, vibrant, and ready in minutes, this stir-fried side is the kind of dish that makes a weeknight feel a little more special. Snow peas get a hard sear in hot coconut oil, developing those irresistible light char spots while staying bright green and snappy — none of that sad, soggy vegetable energy. Fresh ginger hits the center of the pan just long enough to bloom and turn fragrant before everything gets tossed together with coconut aminos, which bring a deep, savory-sweet glaze without any soy or animal-derived additives to worry about. The whole dish is naturally free of pork and pork-derived ingredients, so there's no label-reading stress — just clean, whole-food ingredients from start to finish. A scatter of fresh cilantro at the end adds a bright herbal lift that ties everything together beautifully. Serve it straight from the pan while the glaze is still glossy and the peas still have that satisfying snap.

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.
