Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2-3 tbsp. cooking oil
- 1 lb sugar snap peas about 4 heaping cups
- 1 lb quail eggs about 1 cup, cooked and peeled
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and drain sugar snap peas. To remove the strings, cut off one tip with a gentle force so as not to remove it completely. You will see a string attached to the tip. Simply pull this string down along the length of the pod until it comes off on the other end (see notes).
- Stir together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- In a wok, heat about 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add garlic and onion. Cook until soft and aromatic,
- Add the snap peas. Cook and toss for about 2 minutes, until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Add the quail eggs and toss until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce mixture. Toss everything so the sauce coats the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Cook and toss for 2-3 minutes more, to desired tenderness. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes
- You can also use Sugar snap peas that comes in sealed bags. They are ready to cook or eat as they are already washed, and stringed. I buy Mann's brand.
- For the quail eggs, I use canned ones. These are boiled and peeled already. You can also use the fresh ones from Asian groceries. Just boil and peel them yourself.
- Add sesame oil to the sauce ingredients for a deeper Asian flavor.
- To add heat, add red pepper flakes to the garlic and onion sauté.
- To vary the protein, you can also add shrimps, thin beef slices or ground meat.
