Dau miu: snow pea shoots stir fried with garlic |
These are one of the most delicious vegetables that can be stir fried and are considered a Chinese delicacy. If you haven't tried this it's a must. I don't remember seeing this on the menu in any Chinese restaurants I've been to in the US, although surely it's available in the Chinatowns of larger cities such as New York and probably available in quite a few places in California. So rather than search through all of the Chinese style restaurants here's a quick little recipe for it.
Ingredients
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
A couple handfuls of fresh snow pea sprouts
A dash of salt
Instructions
Heat oil in wok over medium/high heat
Add the minced garlic (if it starts to crisp or go brown the the heat is too high)
Add a dash of salt
Add the snow pea sprouts and toss them around for a minute or 2 until they look like the picture
i am gonna do some cooking my self today!
