Snow peas pick up smoky char marks on a hot grill in just a few minutes, then get tossed warm in a glaze built from soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. The result is crisp-tender pods with a sticky, savory-sweet coating finished with toasted sesame seeds. It pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or steak, and comes together fast enough for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound snow peas, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Method

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the snow peas with the vegetable oil and salt.

  4. Spread the snow peas directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket. Grill, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

  5. Transfer the grilled snow peas back to the large bowl and pour the sesame glaze over them while warm. Toss to coat evenly.

  6. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion, then serve immediately.
