Stir Fry Green Young Pea Shoots


















I love to stir fry these young pea shoots with lots of garlic and sea salt . They are best eaten cooked this way. They contain many essential nutrients, like vitamins and minerals, as well as proteins and fibre. Peas shoots are available in local farmer’s markets and Asian grocers. I bought mine from Tesco and they have fresh stock everyday. Love them for their crispness. One thing to remember, just  stir fry them lightly so that the vitamins, protein and minerals are not lost. 

















You can have stir fry them plain with just garlic and salt or with other ingredients like tofu and shrimps .  For me I love them plain or have them fresh in my sandwiches.  I will want to try this out though buying them from the supermart is cheap.  But just for curiosity sake, I might try germinating them myself  :p  Healthier I suppose and can eat them straight out of the tray if we can germinate them at home :)

    I have never had young peas shoots, they look so very very good, there is something so wonderful about something so fresh and full of goodness!
    Now I have to see if I can find them at my grocer!
    Cheers
