Tips:
Frozen green peas can be used in place of fresh ones. Fresh green peas can be blanched in salted water and used as above. This will make the peas softer.
When the microwave cooking time for a step exceeds 2 minutes, it is highly recommended the contents be checked and stirred at regular intervals to avoid burning of food. Standing time is a very important step as it completes the microwave cooking process of a dish. Ideally, allow the dish to stand for about 5 minutes before serving.
