Snow Peas with Water Chestnuts

I had snow peas on hand that I didn't know what to do with - Now I do! This is an excellent recipe and so quick! My husband loved it! Water chestnuts just makes this dish and the sauce was fabulous. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

This was very simple, and actually pretty elegant for something you can whip up in less than 20 min. I omitted the mint, because it just didn't suit my taste buds tonight, and I added almonds and oregano for a little something extra.

This recipe is a great way to jazz up a side dish. My husband and I really liked the combined flavors of all the ingreadients.

This is a easy, tasty way to prepare snow peas! I didn't have any sesame seeds, so I used sesame oil instead of olive oil. This boosted the sesame flavor. The mint seemed a little strange to me, but it really didn't taste that bad in the end! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Sorry but I didn't care much for this one. I think too much sesame flavor. I did like the mint, though.

We couldn't really taste the mint. Prehaps fresh mint rather than dried would have made a difference.

My husband loved this, and I ended up liking it, but it had to grow on me. It was fast and easy to make, a big plus. I used half olive and half sesame oil. I think my water chestnuts weren’t the best quality, a little soft. Next time I'll also try toasting the sesame seeds. The mint added a great flavor. All in all a very good recipe. Will definitely be making again.

Used toasted sesame seeds and, because I don't care for mint, substituted with fresh cilantro instead. Light and refreshing recipe, thanks!! Note: If you sub with cilantro add it at the end when/if you season with salt and pepper because cilantro doesn't stand up to cooking!

We liked this very much and I'll def make it again.

I had about 1/2 lb. of snow pea pods that a friend grew in her garden. I sauteed them in sesame oil as directed. When I looked for the water chestnuts - they were not there. Oh well, this would have been 5 star had I added them. I used 1 T. sesame seeds and that was plenty. The seasoning I used was the pepper/garlic and sea salt/garlic grinders. I was pretty light on the fresh mint and will add more next time. It looked really pretty on my plate. A little light soy sauce made it a great dish.

Blah. Water chestnuts were mushy and added little to the garden fresh peapods.

I made this and had great response from family. I did not have fresh mint but used some dried. I have fresh mint this week and will give it another try. Very good recipe.

Added chives and fresh basil but I don't think it added much. Loved the mint and lemon idea.

This was okay. The mint flavor was overpowering and I didn't use an entire tablespoon of mint. Next time, if there is one, I would only use a pinch of mint and I would add a splash of soy sauce.

Good recipient, I just added mushrooms.

Flavor was a little bland. Added garlic salt and a little low sodium soy sauce that made it tastier. Love snow peas and the crunch of water chestnuts was great addition.
