This aromatic side dish would be welcome alongside almost anything off the grill. For an even more authentic taste, add 1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns. To turn this dish into a main course, stir-fry 1/2 pound medium peeled and deveined shrimp for 3 minutes before adding the pea shoots - serve it over cooked brown rice.
Ingredients:
cooking spray
3 medium garlic cloves, slivered
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lb pea shoots, cut into fairly large bunches, then rinsed but not dried
2 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Directions:
1. Spray a large wok or skillet with cooking spray; set over high heat.
2. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; stir-fry for 30 seconds, just until garlic begins to brown around its edges.
3. Add pea shoots; stir-fry until they begin to wilt, about 3 minutes.
4. Pour in soy sauce and vinegar; toss as mixture comes to a bubble. Serve at once.
