Pea Tips Stir-fry
Description
This recipe focuses on snow pea leaves thoroughly washed and stripped of tough stems to ensure tenderness. Garlic infuses the vegetable with gentle pungency, while seasoning with salt and white pepper adds nuanced flavor without overshadowing the fresh greens.
Using high heat and constant stirring cooks the pea tips rapidly, wilting the leaves just enough while maintaining a pleasant bite and bright color. A finishing touch of sesame oil lends a subtle nutty aroma and roundness to the dish.
Pea Tips Stir-fry is best served immediately alongside rice or as part of a larger meal. Its simplicity highlights the delicate flavors of the pea leaves and complements richer proteins.
Ingredients
- 1 pound snow pea leaves (450g, picked, thoroughly washed clean)
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3-5 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Make sure your pea leaves are thoroughly washed and picked through for tough stems. Heat the oil in a large wok over high heat. Add the garlic and stir for a couple of seconds before adding the veggies.
- Stir-fry for 20 seconds, keeping the vegetables constantly moving. Add the salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Continue stir-frying until the vegetables are completely wilted but still vibrant green. Serve.
