Stir Fried Pea Shoots!
Hi guys!
Today, I will share one of my favorite ways to eat vegetable, stir fry! It is classic Chinese style of eating vegetables and this recipe is amazing because you can use any vegetables you like!
The vegetables you can substitute for this recipe are…

- and more!
This recipe is definitely for everyday meal so make sure keep this recipe with you in the kitchen!
I used only garlic for the aromatic vegetable, but you could also add ginger, onion and/or green onions too.
Are you ready to make simple and delicious stir fried pea shoots at home? Let’s get started!
Combine oyster sauce, black pepper, chicken stock and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl and set a side.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium heat; add oil and swirl to coat.
Add garlic slices and cook for 1 minute or until light golden brown.
Add the pea shoots or the vegetables you are using. Increase heat to high and keep stir.
When the vegetables are half way cooked, add the sauce mixture. (Make sure to stir the sauce mixture before pour into the wok, because the starch will sink down to the bottom) Stir well. Pea shoots will take 2 to 3 minutes to cook but adjust the cooking time depending on what vegetables you are using.
Transfer the stir fried pea shoots on a serving plate. Enjoy with steamed or fried rice with other main dishes.
It will be amazing with egg fried rice, general tso’s chicken, beef and broccoli, Mongolian beef and more! Get inspirations on my recipe page!

LOVE this recipe! Seonkyoung, where can we find the wok you are using to cook your pea shoots?
This was so good! Tasted just like my moms but she’s a typical Asian mom who doesn’t use measurements so I can never replicate her recipes lol!
