Heat wok or frying pan and add 2 tbsp oil. Add a pinch of salt and garlic. Add the snowpeas and stirfry for 20 to 30 seconds and add in waterchestnuts. Add in shrimp and add the pinch of sugar. Add stock or water and bring to a boil. Taste. If not salty enough add more. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove to a serving dish. If the sauce is too runny watery add a little bit of cornstarch disolved in water.
