Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon peanut or grapeseed oil
1/2 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Maui, thickly sliced

1/4 cup bottled all-natural kung pao, shiitake soy ginger or other low-sodium stir-fry sauce
2 tablespoons chopped unsalted roasted peanuts or cashews

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and stir-fry until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Add the snow peas and stir-fry until nearly crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Add the sauce and stir-fry to coat, about 1 minute.
