Instructions
1
Prep the pea shoots
Sort through the pea shoots, discarding any tough stems or yellowed leaves. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and drain well. Roughly chop into 2-inch lengths.
2
Heat the wok
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3
Stir-fry the greens
Add the pea shoots all at once. Stir-fry vigorously for 1-2 minutes until just wilted but still bright green. Season with salt and a tiny pinch of sugar if desired. Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.
