Pork Stir Fried with Sugar Snap Peas

Stir fried pork with sugar snap peas

I love pork and all its products but unfortunately its not that healthy. Now I have been seeing sugar snap peas in many recipes out there and I had never tried making these neither have I ever eaten them so last time I was at City Park Market I asked around for them. Turns out they are a lot like snow peas only that they have larger “peas” inside them so they are not as flat. So I bought a small bunch of them and when I was making pork I decided to add them in so as to make the meal healthier 🙂

I enjoyed the flavour of the pork, slightly hot and sweet and the peas were nice. Different but tasty. I think they mostly take the flavour of whatever it is you have cooked. I hope you will like it. Oooh I adopted this recipe from the Gatronomes Guide and the Haffington post.  HAPPY COOKING!!
