Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh pea shoots
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Chicken stock
- 0.5 teaspoons Sesame oil
Instructions
Wash the pea shoots thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but do not let it burn.
Increase the heat to high and add the pea shoots to the wok. Use a spatula or tongs to toss and stir constantly.
Sprinkle the salt and sugar over the pea shoots and mix well.
Add the chicken stock and continue to stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, or until the pea shoots are just tender and wilted.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fried pea shoots and toss to coat evenly.
Remove the wok from heat and transfer the cooked pea shoots to a serving plate.
Serve immediately as a side dish or alongside steamed rice.
