Good for a change of pace, but I don't see where it deserves all the 5 stars. Very simple, basic recipe. But not a 5 star. A 5 star needs to blow you away. This simply doesn't do that.

Perfect quick and easy recipe to use up a bag of sugar snap peas I had in the fridge. The garlic and the ginger go really well with the peas. I just loved it!

The flavor of these peas were great! I thought that the garlic and the ginger was really well balanced. I think this sauce would be really good with other veggies such as green beans and summer squash.

I'm so glad I found this recipe! It's perfect just as posted, and can be cut in half to serve 2. Delicious!
