Snow Pea Shoots with Garlic [0000777]

Ingredients:

1 bunch snow pea shoots (about 8-10 ounces)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cooking oil (such as vegetable or olive oil)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Optional: Red pepper flakes for a touch of heat
Optional: Fresh lemon juice for a burst of acidity

Instructions:

Wash the snow pea shoots thoroughly and drain them. Trim any tough ends if necessary.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the snow pea shoots to the skillet. Be cautious as they might splatter a bit due to the moisture.

Stir-fry the pea shoots for about 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to wilt but are still vibrant green and crisp-tender.

Season the pea shoots with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like a bit of heat, you can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes at this stage.

Optional: Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the pea shoots for a hint of brightness.

Toss the pea shoots in the skillet to evenly coat them with the garlic and seasoning.

Once the pea shoots are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.

Transfer the snow pea shoots to a serving dish.

Serve the Snow Pea Shoots with Garlic as a delicious and vibrant side dish.
