Essential Ingredients and Tools

• Snow peas
• Chinese sausage (lap cheong)
• Light soy sauce
• Cooking oil

Measurements

The following quantities are for one serving.

Per serving:

• Approximately 50 snow peas
• About 100 g of Chinese sausage
• 10 ml of cooking oil
• 10 ml of light soy sauce

Instructions

• Remove the stems from the snow peas. If time permits, you can also remove the tail ends.

• When purchasing the Chinese sausage, ask the vendor whether it is raw or pre-cooked. If raw, steam it beforehand. If pre-cooked, it can be used directly.

• Wash the snow peas and blanch them in boiling water for about 45 seconds, or until they change color. Remove and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Set aside.

• Heat a wok or pan and add approximately 10 ml of cooking oil. Wait for about 10 seconds to allow the oil temperature to rise.

• Add the Chinese sausage and stir-fry continuously until the edges begin to curl slightly. Crucial: Keep the heat on low. Use the lowest possible heat setting to prevent burning.

• Add the snow peas and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, then add the light soy sauce. Continue stir-frying for another 20-30 seconds until done.

Additional Notes

• Salt was not added during the cooking process because the Chinese sausage is naturally salty, and the light soy sauce also adds saltiness.
• Although Chinese sausage tastes great, it is considered less healthy. It is recommended to use it sparingly.
