Garlic Pea Shoots

Let’s get ready by peeling and mincing 4 cloves of garlic, if you absolutely love garlic then you can slice an extra clove of garlic to fry and garnish your peas at the end. Wash your pea shoots and check the ends of the stems and trim where needed, dry your peas off. Now gather the rest of your ingredients and a small pan to cook it all in.

Heat your pan using the olive oil or oil of your choosing, once hot add the minced garlic and fry until aromatic, 2-3 minutes.

Add your pea shoots to the pan, season to taste and stir fry until the peas have wilted, this should only take a couple of minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve.
