Instructions: Pinch off the stem ends of the snow peas and remove strings, if any. Heat the oil in a wok or high-sided large saute pan over high heat until very hot. Add the garlic and ginger and saute over high heat until fragrant.

Add the snow peas and toss, stir-frying for about 2 minutes. Add the chile paste, honey, and the 2 teaspoons of basil and cook until the snow peas are crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with the soy sauce, add the almonds, and toss well.

To serve, transfer the snow peas to a serving platter. Garnish with the basil sprigs and pickled ginger, and serve immediately.
