What you need:
- 4 stalks asparagus
- 8 fresh snow pea pods
- 1 scallion
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Snap the bottoms off your asparagus where they break naturally, then cut the stalks into 1/2" (1 .25 cm) pieces, on the diagonal. Pinch the ends off the snow peas, and pull off the strings, then cut them into '/2" (1 .25 cm) pieces, too.
- Put the two in a microwaveable bowl, add just a couple of teaspoons of water, cover, and microwave on high for just 3 minutes. Uncover as soon as the microwave beeps! While this is happening, slice your scallion, including the crisp part of the green, and beat up your eggs.
- Okay, pull your asparagus and snow peas out of the microwave. Spray a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and place over medium heat. Add the olive oil, and let it start heating.
- Drain the asparagus and snow peas, and throw 'em in the skillet, along with the scallion. Now pour in the eggs, and scramble till set.
- That's it!
