Ingredients Beans + Legumes Pea Stir-Fried Garlicky Snow Pea Shoots Be the first to rate & review! This recipe from cookbook author Grace Young is a delicious example of a "clear" stir-fry that uses very few ingredients, focusing on a pure translation of simple flavors. Sweet, tender snow pea shoots shine through mellow garlic, while white pepper perfumes the dish with its mild heat and fragrant floral notes. If using a skillet, cook the pea shoots in two batches to avoid crowding the pan.

Stir together salt, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in oil. Add garlic and jalapeño; cook, making quick scooping motions with a metal spatula, constantly tossing and tumbling (stir-frying) mixture until it is fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add pea shoots; cook, stir-frying constantly, until pea shoots just begin to wilt, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle with salt mixture; cook, stir-frying constantly, until pea shoots are just wilted but still bright green and stems are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Note Find snow pea shoots at Chinese grocery stores and farmers markets. Rate it Print
