Stir Fried Snap Peas
I’m a big fan of sugar snap peas. When they are in season, they taste like candy. This is a simple stir fry side dish that takes 5 minutes to make. It is also vegan, gluten free, and paleo friendly. You can turn this side dish into a main course by serving with steamed rice and adding a protein such as shrimp, beef, pork, chicken, or tofu.
