Really Great Stir-Fried Snap Peas

I have made these several times in the past, it is a wonderful side dish, especially in the summer when fresh peas are in season. The trick to these, is not to overcook them, as you still want them crisp-tender! This recipe may be doubled if desired. Make certain to use only fresh snap peas not frozen or they will be soggy and soft. Prep time includes stir-frying. You will love this!
