Description
Snow peas have a subtly sweet, mild, and grassy flavor suited for fresh and cooked preparations. The calyx remnants and strings should be removed from the pods before consumption, and the pods cook quickly. Snow peas can be used raw in salads, or they can be served on crudité trays, eaten with herb dips, hummus, or cottage cheese. The pods can also be chopped and layered into spring rolls, sliced and mixed into grain bowls, or blanched, sliced into thin strips, and placed as a garnish or topping over main dishes. In addition to fresh preparations, Snow peas can be added to stir-fries, tossed into rice or noodle-based dishes, or incorporated into curries and soups. Snow peas can also be steamed into eggs, roasted with nuts, added to main meat dishes, or steamed and combined with fresh herbs, butter, and citrus as a zesty side dish. In Japan, Snow peas are traditionally simmered in a dashi broth, a side dish known as ohitashi. They are also mixed into chirashi sushi, meaning "scattered sushi," a rice-based bowl filled with ingredients commonly found in sushi.
