Snow Pea Leaves with Garlic

Step 1

Soak snow vegetables in a large bowl or other container for 1 to 2 hours. Then wash thoroughly (2 to 3 times) to get rid of all the dirt and sand clinging to the leaves and stems. Drain off all the water.

Step 2

Using very high heat, heat oil in your wok until it just starts to smoke a bit. Quickly add the garlic and the veggies, taking care not to burn them by constantly stirring. After a minute, add salt, cracked white pepper, and sesame oil. Stir and mix well.

Step 3

Put the lid on the wok and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Remove lid, stir briefly, and transfer to a dish.

Step 4

Tip: don't open the lid more than once during cooking, as it will cause the vegetables to lose their green color!
