Snow or Snap Peas with Asian-Orange Sauce

Snow peas and sugar snap peas are seasonal flavors everyone should sample this time of year. Tonight, snow peas will be paired with bell pepper, sliced onion and water chestnuts in a slightly spicy orange/cilantro sauce. It’s served with plant-based Chick’n, or optional chicken, over nutritious brown rice.

You should still be able to get fresh snow peas (or even sugar snap peas) this time of year. If not, frozen snow peas will do.
