Tangy Sugar Snap Peas

Submitted by lets.eat

"This recipe came from QC. I am copying it just like the recipe stated-BUT---If I were you I would decrease the sugar by perhaps two teaspoons we found it VERY sugarey, I also cooked the onions in a little water covered for 5 min., until tender THAN I added the peas and coating and heated for a couple of minutes, the peas were not over done this way. Try it and see what you would recommend."

Different way to eat snap peas. The family thought they were a little too vinegary but I liked them.

I forgot all about Leezah's recommendations by the time I made this so I used the full amount of sugar and didn't find it too sweet. But I left the cooking water in the pan when I stirred in the cornstarch mixture, which diluted the sugar, probably too much. Next time I'll drain off the cooking water. I made the entire dish on the stovetop.
