⭐ Sautéed Snow Peas and Bean Sprouts | Asian Style Snow Peas Sauté
Sautéed Snow Peas and Bean Sprouts is a light, crunchy, and nutrient-rich stir fry that brings together the natural sweetness of fresh snow peas and the refreshing bite of bean sprouts. This dish celebrates the simplicity of Asian-style cooking, where vegetables are cooked just enough to preserve their vibrant color, crispness, and nutrients. Prepared with garlic, sesame seeds, soy sauce, butter, and olive oil, this Snow Peas Stir Fry Indian Style transforms simple ingredients into a flavorful side dish that pairs beautifully with rice, noodles, or soups.
The beauty of this dish lies in its minimal cooking method. The snow peas are first blanched for a few minutes to retain their bright green color and succulent texture. A quick sauté with garlic and olive oil enhances their natural flavor without making them soggy. The addition of sesame seeds adds a nutty aroma, while soy sauce brings a touch of umami, turning the mild vegetables into an aromatic Asian-inspired preparation. This method ensures the vegetables remain crunchy, juicy, and full of freshness.
When it comes to nutrition, snow peas and bean sprouts are both low in calories and extremely high in fiber, vitamins C and K, folate, and antioxidants. These nutrients support immunity, improve digestion, and help maintain healthy skin and eyes. The garlic used in the recipe adds anti-inflammatory benefits, while sesame seeds contribute healthy fats and minerals like calcium and magnesium. With just a small amount of olive oil and butter, the dish remains light yet satisfying.

This combination makes it an excellent choice for light meals, detox diets, and everyday healthy eating.
⭐ Is It Good for Diabetics?
Absolutely. Snow peas have a low glycemic index, meaning they do not spike blood sugar levels. Bean sprouts are rich in protein and fiber, which improve insulin response. To make it even more diabetic-friendly, use low-sodium soy sauceand restricted salt. Garlic and sesame seeds help improve metabolic health, making this dish ideal for diabetics seeking a flavorful, low-carb side dish.

Tasted great, a delicate dish ideal for morning. Much easier than Egg Foo Yung, another breakfast favorite of mine. I added a few shrimp boiled in a little Old Bay seasoning then blanched the peas in the same water. Otherwise, followed the recipe except added a little Bok Choy, because I had it.Oh yea I used a little sesame oil instead of butter. The peas were very tender. I am going to have to remember to blanch them in future dishes.
