A nice presentation and easy to change the proportions as the amount of sesame oil to add to coat the peas is not stated. I started with pre-washed peas which increased the ease of preparation. The sweetness of the peas was accentuated and more noticeable than eating them plain. It is worth it to seek out the black sesame seeds as it really does make a spectacular presentation. They are not as pretty with the strings removed, but easier to eat. She suggests serving them as room temperature, I like them better with a little chill still on them, and they are more refreshing.

If you are able to get really fresh and flavorful sugar snap peas, this is an incredibly simple and delicious side. You don't even cook the peas, simply trim and toss with the oil and sesame seeds.
This is great for a summer side with any Asian main dish. Side benefit is how pretty it is on the plate.
Another winner from the Contessa!
