Bok Choi, Snow Peas & Almonds

Tender crisp peas and choi, embraced by the warm flavors of sesame and almond.

Prep time:  10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Serves:  4-6









INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 small onion, 1/4 inch dice (about 1/2 cup)
4-6 stalks bok choi, white and green parts separated and coarsely chopped (about 4 cups total)
1 pint snow peas or sugar snap peas
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Soy sauce (optional)

DIRECTIONS
In a wok or large skillet/saute pan heat the oil and onion over medium-high heat.  When onion sizzles, add the white bok choi stems and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.  Add the bok choi leaves and the pea pods, stir, cover, and cook for 2 minutes or until peas are tender crisp.  Remove from heat.

Distribute to serving plates, sprinkling each serving with slivered almonds and, optional, drizzling with soy sauce.
