- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add a pinch of salt and a little baking soda if you want to preserve their bright green color.
- Add the peas directly from the freezer.
- Boil for only 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your preferred level of tenderness.
- Drain and immediately rinse with cold or ice water to stop them from overcooking and keep their crispness.
2. Add Peas Last in Stir-Fries or Stews
When making rice dishes, stir-fries, or stews, avoid tossing in the peas at the start. Since frozen peas are already partially cooked during processing, they only need a short time to heat through.
