  8. After a couple more minutes add in the remaining two tablespoons of water and continue to stir the snap peas until well coated with the sauce.
  9. Remove pan from the heat and transfer to a bowl or plate.

  11. Serve alongside your protein of choice and a side of rice or quinoa to make a full meal, or just enjoy the peas on their own!
