Pea Shoots Stir-fried With Garlic
From scrumptious 16 years ago
- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 2
This recipe is very slightly adapted from one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, "Asian Vegetables" by Sara Deseran. My change: I found the sauce a little weak on flavor, so I upped the flavoring amounts. NOTE: There seems to be some interchangeable-naming confusion out there between "pea shoots" and "pea sprouts. Read more " The dish in the photo was made with small, sprout-like shoots, and the recipe should work with any type of pea shoot or sprout, and would work with something like baby spinach as well.
