Chinese Style Snow Pea and Carrot Saute

This is a great, quick little side dish to go with any Chinese dish you are cooking up.  I made it to go with honey chicken (recipe coming next week!) and it really rounded out the meal.  You could double this or add more veggies to your liking and have a vegetarian stir fry as well!  Just serve over some rice and boom, dinner is done!

Chinese Style Snow Pea and Carrot Saute

1 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, shredded
1 lb. snow peas, ends trimmed
1 T. hoisin sauce
1 T. low sodium soy sauce
1/2 t. crushed red pepper

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.  Add the garlic, carrots and snow peas and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.  Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and crushed red pepper and stir to combine.  Allow the sauce to heat for 1-2 minutes and serve!
