Asian Pea Pods Casserole Microwave Recipes

ASIAN SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven broiler, and move rack to top position.
• Place the snap peas in a baking dish, and drizzle olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the snap peas in a single layer.
• Broil the snap peas about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, brown sugar, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. When snap peas are removed from the oven, toss them immediately with the sauce.

5-MINUTE ASIAN SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Toss hot, cooked sugar snap peas with soy sauce and sesame oil. (If using steam-in-bag peas, be sure to drain off any water that may be in the cooking bag, so it doesn't dilute your sauce mixture).
• Add Pepper Relish (or jelly / chili garlic paste substitution) to taste. We find that 2 teaspoons is a good starting amount but we often add more - you may want more or less depending on how spicy your batch of Pepper Relish turned out, and on how spicy you like your food.
• Once you're done adding Pepper Relish (tasting and possibly adding a bit more), and adjusting the other flavors, add a pinch of salt, only if needed.
• Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired. They don't add much flavor, but they look really pretty.
• When serving, be sure to scoop all the way to the bottom of the serving bowl to get some of the flavorful sauce along with each serving of peas.

KUNG PAO SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and stir-fry until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Add the snow peas and stir-fry until nearly crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Add the sauce and stir-fry to coat, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to a platter or large bowl, sprinkle with the nuts and serve.

RICE AND PEA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Boil 500 ml (approximately 2 cups) of water and a pinch of salt in a pot, add brown rice, cover and cook over low heat until soft.
• Thaw peas. Melt the butter in a frying pan, stir in the flour and cook lightly. Stir in the milk, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, crumble in the cheese and stir in the eggs. Chop basil and add to the sauce. Butter a baking dish and spread the rice. Evenly distribute the peas on top. Pour the sauce over and bake in the oven at 200°C (approximately 400°F) for 15-18 minutes.

• In a nonstick skillet, stir-fry snow peas in 2 tsp hot oil for 3-4 minutes or until snow peas are crisp-tender and bright green. Remove and keep warm.
• Drain and discard marinade from beef. In same skillet, stir-fry beef in remaining oil for 2 minutes.
• Stir cornstarch mixture; add to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened.

CHICKEN AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Whisk the chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ginger together in a small bowl; reserve.
• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Cook and stir chicken and garlic in the oil until chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, water chestnuts, and reserved chicken broth mixture. Cook until sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.

ASIAN BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Combine sauce ingredients with a whisk and set aside. Add snow peas to a microwaveable bowl with a little bit of water and microwave for about 3 minutes. Set aside. In a large skillet, heat 4 Tablespoons oil until hot, add mushrooms and cook them until they are browned slightly. Sprinkle them with salt and set them aside. In the same pan, add the remaining oil and cook your meat, in a thin layer to be sure to get it cooked on every side. Add the peas and mushrooms back in and pour in the sauce. Cook until heated through. Serve with fried rice.

ASIAN BEEF WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet until hot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil - it should sizzle. Immediately add sliced mushrooms and cook them on high heat, stirring occasionally, until they brown. Salt them midway through. Remove mushrooms to a plate.
• Microwave the peas for 2 minutes (or boil), and set aside.
• To the same skillet, on high heat, add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil. Immediately add thinly sliced meat. You might want to do this in 2 batches, because you will want each slice of meat to touch the bottom of the skillet and for meat slices not to be crowded. This will ensure that meat will brown. Cook meat until both sides are browned. Remove this batch to a plate. Add a second batch of meat, and repeat.
• Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Return all of the cooked meat back to the skillet. Add the peas and cooked mushrooms, then the sauce. Cook on high heat for about 1 minute.
• Serve over rice.
