Pea Shoots (Stir-Fried Pea Shoots -- Chow Dau Miu)

"Pea shoots are the tips of the vines and the top set of leaves of the pea plant. I was introduced to these by my BIL a couple of years ago. I found no recipes for it here or on line. Which lead me to add my recipe."

  1. My pea sprouts have the whole pea still attached (I grew them in a jar myself). Am I supposed to cut it off or can I use it

  1. In autumn, even cool weather, it's a bit more fibrous, so would suggest stripping bottom leaves/small stems from the main stem and discarding that. Otherwise great!
     
  2. Used avocado oil instead of vegetable, and lemon juice instead of ginger. Also added sliced portabella mushrooms and sliced turnips. Put them in a few minutes before the pea shoot. Delicious!
     
  3. Quite good. I also use pea sprouts in salads, sandwiches, and I cook and blenderize for fresh pea soup with yoghurt or sour cream and some frozen peas for looks.
     
  4. Awesome recipe it can be made without the sugar oyster sauce has a sweet taste. This recipe can used for all different veggies and or meats. It’s delicious.
     
  5. Has anyone tried this recipe for pea shoots without the sugar?
