peppery hoisin pork & pea stir-fry
Sugar snap peas are brilliant to stir-fry as they give such a wonderful crunch so take care not to overcook them. The small amount of vinegar in the recipe will make the sugar snap peas turn a slightly olive color so if you want to return their vibrancy, leave the vinegar out of the recipe.
