Black or white sesame seeds (or a combination) can be used in this recipe. 

Instructions

1.

Toast sesame seeds in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Heat oil in now-empty skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add snap peas in single layer and cook, without stirring, for 30 seconds. Toss snap peas and spread into single layer. Continue to cook, tossing every 30 seconds, until snap peas are spotty brown and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

2.

Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add soy sauce and cook until all liquid has evaporated, about 30 seconds. Off heat, add sesame seeds and toss to combine. Serve.
