Notes
Tips & Tricks
- Use the freshest peas you can find. The fresher they are, the firmer they will be and the better your end result.
- Toasted sesame oil is essential for a deep, nutty flavor that makes the dish. Do not mix it up with regular sesame oil.
- When they are in the pan, stir occasionally but not constantly. You want them to start blistering for an added layer of flavor.
