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.

Conclusion
Creating a delicious and nutritious pea shoot and vegetable stir-fry is a quick and easy process that can be tailored to your own preferences. Here are some additional tips to make the most of this versatile dish:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the more flavorful your stir-fry will be. Look for crisp, brightly colored vegetables and tender pea shoots.
- Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables to the pan at once, they will steam instead of stir-frying.
- Cook the vegetables over high heat. This will help them retain their crispness.
- Stir-fry the vegetables in batches. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add the sauce to the vegetables towards the end of cooking. This will help the sauce to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately. This will help to preserve the vegetables' crispness.
Tips
- If you can't find pea shoots, you can substitute baby spinach or arugula.
- Add your favorite vegetables to the stir-fry. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, snap peas, and bell peppers.
- Make the stir-fry ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to eat. This is a great way to have a healthy meal on hand for busy weeknights.
- Serve the stir-fry over rice, noodles, or quinoa.
- Top the stir-fry with your favorite toppings, such as sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of soy sauce.
