Ingredients
2
- pea sprouts5 handfuls
- garlic4 cloves
- salt0.3 tsp
- chicken bouillon powder0.5 tsp
Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Rinse the pea sprouts thoroughly and drain well. Pat them dry lightly so they stir-fry instead of steam.
02
Trim off any tough curly tendrils or stringy ends from the pea sprouts. Keep any tender leaves and blossoms, as they are edible.
03
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves so they cook quickly and evenly.
04
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Briefly saute the garlic for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, then add the pea sprouts. Stir-fry quickly until just wilted, then season with salt and chicken bouillon powder to taste. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
If you prefer, use mushroom seasoning or vegetable bouillon instead of chicken bouillon powder. Do not overcook the pea sprouts, or they will lose their crisp texture and bright color. A small amount of neutral oil can help the garlic cook evenly. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day, but this dish is best eaten fresh.
