Pea Shoots Stir-Fry
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut on the bias
- 4 cups fresh pea shoots
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 8 grilled shrimp or scallops, optional
Instructions
- Heat a wok or large sauté pan on medium-high heat for about a minute. Once pan has warmed, add olive oil, turn heat to a lower setting and carefully add minced garlic. Olive oil should be hot enough to cook garlic, but not burn it. When garlic has become aromatic for a minute or so, add cut asparagus and sauté for a minute or 2, while stirring. Add pea shoots, all at once. Shoots will start to shrink as they cook. Use a spatula to stir and flip shoots so they cook evenly. Once they have shrunk in size, season with salt, crushed red pepper and tamari and cook just another minute or so, until tender. Serve the Pea Shoots Stir-Fry with steamed basmati rice or black rice and sautéed scallops and shrimp, if desired.
