Notes
Snow peas, also known as Chinese pea pods and mangetout, pronounced monge-too are very easy to cook. So that the snow peas, in this recipe don’t become overcooked and mushy, use the residual heat/steam to cook them.
Substitute
1.5 cups of frozen or tinned corn can be used instead of corn cut from the cob. No need to defrost the frozen corn before use.
