Ingredients
-
1 pound fresh snow pea shoots (about 14 packed cups) or spinach
-
½ teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
¼ teaspoon granulated sugar
-
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
-
2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil
-
4 medium garlic cloves, smashed
-
1 teaspoon thinly sliced unseeded red jalapeño
Directions
-
Wash pea shoots in several changes of cold water; dry greens thoroughly by hand or in a salad spinner. Stir together salt, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
-
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in oil. Add garlic and jalapeño; cook, making quick scooping motions with a metal spatula, constantly tossing and tumbling (stir-frying) mixture until it is fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add pea shoots; cook, stir-frying constantly, until pea shoots just begin to wilt, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle with salt mixture; cook, stir-frying constantly, until pea shoots are just wilted but still bright green and stems are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Note
Find snow pea shoots at Chinese grocery stores and farmers markets.
