Sugar Snappers

Here is another wonderful recipe from our Dish It Out Tsan series. According to Tsan, “good food feeds the eyes first, then the palate… certain foods need fats or salts to bring out their essence, and omitting an essential ingredient merely because it contains some contraband serves neither the food nor the diner.” Spoken like a true chef! Thus, let’s make it clear to everyone that her recipes are not formulated for weight loss, maximum protein, low GI, or any other health quotient. Her culinary philosophy “comes from a love of food simply for food’s sake, and it is grounded in the belief that food is best in its freshest and most unprocessed state.” Take that Dr. Sears! Just make sure you guys train hard when messing around with Tsan’s delicious creations!

This one is pretty healthy though…

2 cups sugar snap peas, cleaned and dried
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (please don’t use manufactured salt — it’s bitter)

Goes well with seared tuna.
