Garlic Pea Shoots

This is the kind of Chinese dinner you’ll make on repeat — pea shoots and garlic, 10 minutes, big payoff. At 148 calories and 9g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pea shoots
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Peanut oil

Steps

1. Rinse the pea shoots and shake them as dry as you can — water in a screaming wok means steaming instead of searing.
2. Smash the garlic cloves flat with the side of a knife; smashed garlic perfumes oil faster than sliced.
3. Heat the oil until it shimmers, add the garlic, and the moment it turns fragrant, pile in all the pea shoots.
4. Toss 90 seconds until just wilted. Splash in the wine and soy around the edges of the wok so they sizzle.
5. Salt, toss once more, and serve. Ten minutes, six ingredients, and the sweetest greens you will eat all week.
