Just rinsed, raw and chilled with a good dressing, sesame or ginger or whatever you like, experiment. Mmmm good. They are also great lightly sauteed with water chestnuts, almonds and a little soy sauce..
Another vote for raw. Yum.
Raw in a salad. Or stir-fried with baby corn, tiger prawns and rice noodles, and some teriyaki sauce.
Raw, sun warmed straight out of the garden, rinsed under the garden hose, or rubbed clean on your shirt tail. Add a couple fresh pulled carrots and radishes and you don’t have to go in for lunch. At least that is the way we did it as kids.
I love dipping them in humus or chopped in a salad.
I like them raw and chilled. I usually buy them in cellophane packages, and I’ll clip off a top and bottom (diagonally opposite) corner and run water through to rinse them. After they’ve chilled well in the refrigerator, I just fill a bowl with them and sprinkle with salt. Great snack.
They are really good in the occasional bowl of Top Ramen too. :-)
Just stir them in about 3 minutes before the noodles are done simmering.
I remove the strings and usually eat raw. If I am making noodles with peanut sesame dressing, I throw the peas into the boiling water with the noodles for the last two minutes only.
I like them raw, as others have mentioned. If I’m going to cook them, it will be with mushrooms and soy sauce, served on rice. I could eat that three night a week.
I often polish them off in the car on the way home from the market, along with the fresh raspberries or blueberries, picked locally.
I tend to eat them before they have a chance to get put into a dish. Nothing better than a little bag of sugar snap peas for a snack.
You know, they’re really easy to grow. If you buy a seed packet of them and start them in April or so, depending on your weather, you can graze on them for about three full months. You can plant them in a normal-sized flowerpot. They’ll sprawl some but they aren’t ugly.
