Carrots & Snowpeas with Sesame Seeds

Description:
There may be those who are allergic to sesame seeds. I've not tried this with other kinds, but feel free to experiment.

Ingredients:
1/2 cucumber
1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
4 carrots, julienned
6 green onions (aka spring onions), chopped
250 g snow peas (aka mangetout)
t tbsp lemon juice (or I use calamansi)
black pepper



Directions:
1. Peel cucumber. Cut in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Slice into half-moons.

2. Heat a non-stick frying pan. Or you can try a wok. Add the sesame seeds and dry-fry on medium heat for a minute until its toasted. Toss constantly. Remove and set aside.

3. Add oil and heat it. Add the carrots and cucumbers and stir-fry over a high-heat for 2 minutes or so. Then add the onions and snow peas and stir-fry further for 2 minutes or so until the vegetables are tender but a bit crunchy.

4. Add lemon juice and the toasted sesame seeds. Toss gently. Season with pepper to your taste and serve.
