Menu Description: "Stir-fried with garlic."

This is a standard side dish at the country's hottest Chinese dinner chain, and it'll take you just a couple minutes to duplicate at home as a good veggie side for any entree, Chinese or otherwise. It's especially good when you're pressed to slam together a last minute vegetable to go with tonights dinner. You can certainly stay traditional and use a wok for this, but I always just use a medium-size non-stick skillet. The trick is to saute the snap peas quickly over pretty high heat, tossing often, until they're hot, yet still crispy and bright green. You get the garlic in right at the end, and then quickly pop it off the heat so the garlic doesn't scorch. You don't want anyone getting "bitter garlic face."
