This is a flavorful vegetable side dish that is done using Chinese snow peas but sugar snap peas can be replace if Chinese snow peas are either hard to find or expensive in your area. You could add in other vegetables as well for texture variance, I really like adding some green cabbage). A good quality bacon really makes a difference in this dish. Doesn't bacon make anything taste amazing?!
Ingredients
250 grams snow peas or white cabbage leaves cut into large chunks
5-6 cloves garlic, minced
5 slices bacon, sliced into 1 inch squares
1/4 head of green cabbage cut into medium size pieces (optional)
Frying Sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. cooking wine
1/2 tsp. chicken powder
1/2 tsp. starch mixed with 2 Tbsp. water
1/4 tsp. salt or to taste (this will depend on how salty your bacon is, I usually don't need any salt)
Fry bacon until crispy or to you personal preference.
Remove bacon and set the bacon grease aside. Cut the bacon into small pieces.
Prepare the ingredients and mix together the sauce.
Heat 1 tbsp. of bacon grease over medium high heat and
add garlic. Then (if you are using sugar snap peas not Chinese snow peas) add peas and toss.
Add the Frying Sauce and simmer down til half the liquid is remaining
If you are using Chinese snow peas add them at this point then stir in the water starch mixture.
Add in bacon and if you want you can also add in green cabbage at this point.
Toss and cook until sauce is mostly dryed up. This should not take longer than about 30 seconds.
Plate and serve hot.
