How to Cook Stir-Fried Pea Shoots with Garlic in Under 5 Min! - Easy Chinese Recipe

[@g.e.boroush5176]

If your greens are a little wilted (usually from dehydration of travel, refrigeration, etc) you can put them (any greens) in a sink of cold water and let them sit for a while. They will re-hydrate and refresh themselves. Plants need moisture - water! - to stay snappy-fresh.

[@frankwang7650]

This recipe actually can apply to most leafy greens. And it's the most common way that Chinese eat their greens. I personally like garlic stir fried A choy more than pea shoots. Great Video anyway.

[@worldtravel101]

Yufei Wang i agree and i always feel hungry after watching these haha!

[@PinkLlamaGrl]

I agree! I do this recipe without the chicken bouillon and Mustard Greens (salt & red pepper flakes) instead of Pea Shoots served on top of steamed rice. It sooooo delicious!

[@drlan8181]

So fun to watch your cooking and you have a great sense of humors!! Thanks for sharing!

[@alicetwain]

That is the basic way to cook vegetables here in Italy. We just use different flavorings (and different vegetables). Extravirgin olive oil, one or two garlic cloves, a good piece of chilli, toss, in with the vegetables, pinch of salt and that's it. If the vegetables is a bit more hardy, like broccoli, you just add a dash of water and let the vegetables cook lid on until tender. Pair them with a steak, as you did, add eggs and turn them into a frittata, or boil some pasta while you are making the vegetables, drain the pasta, reserving a bit of the cooking water, and dump the pasta and the cooking water in the vegetables, stir for a minute or two and eat. I guess those pea shoots would be great with pasta as well.

[@leroymarshalljr.9981]

Nice.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Oh, I never thought about that as another similarity between Cantonese and Italian food before. Cool. Gai-lan and other Chinese green vegetables are good this way too.

[@troyhoward7689]

Mike is right that kids really like this dish, even though they may not like other veggies. I always get this for my kids at local restaurants. However, the stems/leaves can be a bit stringy and hard to chew through for little kids (and other tooth-challenged people). When I make this at home, I roughly chop the veggies to make them a bit easier to eat. Doesn't look as good, but it means you can take smaller bites and have to chew less, which works out great for the kids. I sometimes make this with liquid chicken broth, or a few dashes of soy sauce instead of chicken bouillon. The same basic recipe works for almost any veggie.

[@TheExlurker]

I like your personality...... you explained everything so simply. Looks absolutely delicious.... Thanks.

[@Kinatha]

What a great dish! I've got some pea shoots and garlic ready to pick in the garden. Guess I know what I'll be having tomorrow! Thanks!

[@johannajoa1154]

[@millionairementality_]

Magnificent! Thank you.

[@Emc4421]

Dude just found your channel. As a fellow garlic lover, I love it. Tons of great and easy chinese recipes for beginner cooks like me.

[@zannie2723]

I bought pea shoots on a whim, and then looked at them in the fridge for a day. Cold veggies in the winter, not so appealing. Found your pea shoot & garlic recipe---looks amazing. Love garlic, 10 cloves sounds great. Will make this tomorrow---Thanks!

[@cassandred9826]

I've been waiting for this recipe since you posted on IG! Thanks for this!

[@strictlydumpling]

Cassie D thanks for watching!!

[@terrabranford9253]

Thank you so much for this recipe! Pea shoots ate my favorite veggies now!

[@sassypolkadots6446]

Yup! I luv those stir fried greens!!!!!! Any of them even yam leaves, string beans, Chinese broccoli!!!! With tons of garlic & some meat!!!!!!👌🏾

[@katarinav.749]

I grow pea shoots every summer in my backyard. Usually eat them raw. But now i have to try this! Thanks Mike!

[@Nilguiri]

That was great! More vege recipes please Mike! 谢谢

[@intuit5767]

That looks super delicious!

[@brd8764]

Little garlic. Right. We can pick and choose vegetarian recipes largely. Thanks so much for these new recipes.

[@rainedaywoman]

Thanks for posting this recipe. I would love to see more veggie recipes especially greens. There is a small family owed Chinese resturant I go to on occasion and always seem to come in when they are sitting for their own lunch or dinner. I noticed they always are eating amazing fragranced leafy greens and rice with a small side of grilled meat. It smells so different from anything on the menu. We have a few asian groceries here that I frequent but do not know what green they are eating to experiment with at home. Neither the parents or grandparents speak english (just enough to order by dish number) and have not seen their daughter who are fluent in English in awhile so have not been able to inquired about it. If it was on the menu I would definatly order some. Now, I am going to keep my eyes open for fresh pea shoots next time I am at the grocery.

[@forthosewhoHUNGER]

“I’m not even a pure vegetable eater; there’s a name for that.” I love it. LoL

[@karensimplyadventurous7305]

I really like chinese cooking. The taste r clean and natural!😊😊😊

[@sassypolkadots6446]

Nice simple tasty dishes with simple basic recipes.... LUV it!!!!!!👌🏾luvvvv tons of garlic as well!!!! & I would also toss some cracked black pepper in there 😊 So refreshing to see a KZbinr who doesn't use brand/store endorsements ⭐️ Luv to see a video that's just simply "real" without any brand or company store advertisements nor endorsements!!!!!! Perfect!!! 🙌🏽💙

[@hearts2heart]

Great job! Def gonna try this now!

[@LostNTranslations]

Thanks for this! I'm vegan and wanting to explore more Asian dishes. Would love more recipe/taste-testing videos that's vegan friendly. I plan to make this with vegan butter and vegetable boullion instead. I'm really looking forward to it.

[@weixinong3877]

Why butter?

[@JTTechie]

thanks, Mike! I love eating this dish at restaurants and my wife won't teach me how to make it so she can be the only one who can make it for me.

[@hongly8728]

[@hamalaw4490]

[@MintyPookieBear52]

[@MochaMoonFlower]

Soooooo. Good 😍😍😍

[@juliojennymartinez6801]

I’m vegan and loved your video! I love leafy greens and garlic 😍

[@manajk11]

It's that easy?! Thanks for sharing! I was told certain things and sauces couldn't be cooked at home because our stoves dont't get hot enough well now I know I can. I'm vegan. Keep the veggie dishes coming!!!! Yummy. Oh. Side note: Thanks for the hot oil video too. I live on that stuff.

[@funkyviolin3060]

This was killer. I can't believe it came out tasting as good as the Chinese joint that sells it for $15. Thanks!

[@archiekingg]

Hi, Mike! I was not born in China, moreover I am not even Asian technically (well, if Russia is considered to be Asia) , but I do share similar tastes with you and I do like the way you cook and your recipes, especially the ones from the North-East like Shandong or Heilongjiang, because the cuisine there is quite similar to my own country's one:) I am currently studying abroad and I've been trying to cook Chinese dishes as I love it, though some people wouldn't understand my tastes due to my nationality, however your tips and tricks are really useful. I will get a wok asap, as I understood that my frying pan does not fit my appetite (hey, another thing in common!). I just wanna say thank you for being a "coach" in cooking and please, keep doing your homemade dishes tutorials, they are deliciously cool ;)

[@strictlydumpling]

LuckyCruzZ thanks so much for watching!!!

[@anthonyornelas9921]

Great video!

[@xujmem9357]

Your food is amazing! Reminds me so much of my time in CHINA!!

[@belaralia]

Yummy! This is one of my favorite veggie dishes...next to Chinese water spinach stir fried with fermented tofu (fu yue). Great tutorial!

[@strictlydumpling]

belaralia Thanks :-)

[@brooklynyc718]

what brand wok do you use?

[@tanyaquintero4024]

@strictlydumpling do you have any other videos where you’re cooking at home?

[@mariameade5624]

Not only in Italy, but also in Spain many vegetables are cooked in this simple way. We just don’t have these kind of vegetables there. I ate this dish for the first time at the Galen Wok at San Antonio, Texas, and I thought it was delicious and very similar to some kind of spinach.

[@jllieder]

I've been looking for this recipe!

[@pattizayas1051]

nice........now I know what to do with the rest of the pea plants that I grow, thanks.

[@executivewoman678]

I've always wanted to try this but wasn't sure if they were bitter. Next time I'm at the market, I will be getting some. Thanks for this video.

[@winvee290]

love your vid keep share how to cook chinese dishs! 加油

[@Minmataro718]

"Saving tastes good" Earned yourself a subscribe for that one buddy. Keep up the good work.

[@alexguan1611]

Mike: this will pair well with... Me: (DONT SAY HOT OIL!)

[@alysoffoxdale]

Pea shoots and ribeye? You are my soulmate! XD And I would never notice your garlic breath over my own... Although I will settle for spinach, since it's really hard to come by pea shoots around here. Or yu choi; there's almost always yu choi at the local Asian grocery.

[@Xeqcme]

You have good taste in food!

[@rainbowgolden3717]

I love your recipe!! I can learn what chinese people eat for homemeal. Its even good because you show us how to eat it at the last part of the video. plz show us more recipe!

[@zl1377]

I order this dish all the time when I go to authentic Chinese restaurants.

[@MrChrispy360]

i shell maybe try this

[@strictlydumpling]

MrChrispy360 you should!

[@JK_was_here]

[@loydaeuraqueamaya543]

Mike I love your videos!!! I'm new to your channel , and want to know which can rice cooker you would recommend. I know you answered someone on another video, but could not find it. Also do more cooking videos please. 😁

[@happyt6493]

Video starts at 2:33

[@cherylong6800]

Thank you so much!!! Peeling garlic usually takes so long I'm usually half dead of starvation by the time I'm done

[@intuit5767]

Track down your local Asian Food Market...you can typically buy big packages of peeled garlic SUPER CHEAP!

[@importantguycommenting8156]

what kind of oil, vegetable oil?

[@hell0hkitty]

oh man! i will do this with my home grown swiss chard, you forgot the hot oil (chile) i'd be happy with this dish and some rice. my mom was born in peru, rice is a staple, many chinese in peru. some of her best recipes were chinese-based. very good for you too! (0 points in weight watchers i'll bet!)

[@juliearmstrong3483]

What spices do u use other than garlic?

[@exmousse]

love pea shoots!!! Mike can you please do a video on how to take care of a wok? I used to own one, but find rusty brown bits coming off of it after every use. I heard somewhere that you are suppose to prepare a brand new wok with hot oil and salt, and never watch a wok with water. Got any tips? I now only have a non-stick wok, but it can't handle as high temperatures.

[@strictlydumpling]

ex-mousse yup!

[@Zinnie988]

What season or tine of the year do see these pea shoots? 🤔

[@xCELESTIALNEONBLASTx]

Mike, an idea. MAKE VLOGS. I would love to see them.

[@xCELESTIALNEONBLASTx]

***** this comment is old af fyi, i know his vlog channel and I'm already subbed to it, anyways thanks ?--

[@Gregoire2009]

Peak to Peak highway t-shirt from Colorado? Love that!

[@navicto]

This stuff is sooooooooo gooooooooooood.

[@carolgena903]

love the garlic yum

[@jmarylastone]

what I would love is for you to make a video at the Asian market because I see so many greens and such and don't know how to buy/cook what I see

[@karencarranza6901]

Yesss please Mike!

[@strictlydumpling]

jmarylastone sure :-)

[@larryredburn8688]

In your next video. After you take a bite please say it is Bussin!!

[@left0verture]

“Choose garlic over your friends”. Word! Garlic IS my friend! 👍

[@PasserbyP]

Hey Mike how do you stay so lean eating this much?

[@redwolfjoy]

What did Mike say? I was focused on his muscles. 😂😂😂

[@strictlydumpling]

Annette Moulder haha it's ok, what I say half the time don't make any sense anyway

[@PasserbyP]

Also make a play list for your vegetarian dishes!

[@michaeladove7269]

Love the recipe! Please do more vegetarian dishes, maybe you can invite friends from other areas of China too, so we can see the differences. :)

[@jaxcarp22]

If your greens are wilted, soak them in room temperature water for an hour or so. It makes them crisp again. Works for almost all vegetables.

[@missdaisyland]

omg my cat ran over thinking I was going to give her a treat when he started shaking the garlic

[@ScarletRoseLayoska]

hahaha. I was just having a conversation with a friend while shopping for food and he pointed me to a giant bag of prepped garlic saying that I needed the five pound bag because he sees me use garlic in EVERYTHING!! and it's true. I use a ton of garlic in all my cooking.

[@yesyeschichi]

Gonna try it soon... need to get a wok,,,it is time..

[@hakudoushinumbernine]

I want to do this thing where i make my own chinese spread. i have a lot of recipes but i don't have enough friends to do it and my mom DOES NOT EAT CHINESE at all. i have one of those small apartment fridges so, not enough room to store it all. quick question: do you take requests? because if you do can you make that pork dish with the sweet bean paste and scallions and tofu skins. you get it in alot of your videos, I live NOWHERE NEAR new york but i do have a chinese grocery store near me. and i want the recipe, it looks amazing. :D

[@krazyklinzy]

pea shoots are definitely one of my favorite veggies out there!! the only problem i have with buying them at the grocery store is that most of them are too "old" b/c those are really fibrous! it's hard to come by the super tender ones.

[@deeegeee620]

I have a weird comment that sounds far fetched but I believe it's true. While my mother was pregnant with me and two if my siblings she didn't eat meat. Neither of us have a taste for meat. Especially me. When I was little my grandparents tried to get me to eat things like beef, pork and turkey but I hated it, I only really liked tender breakfast sausage and chicken. Eventually my taste for meat disappeared all together. To me the main reason I ate meat was for the seasonings in it. My mother had another baby but this time she was no longer a vegetarian. My little brother looooves all things with meat. I'm a vegetarian now and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I think my taste for meats was predetermined in the womb.

[@gabriellelingat]

my favorite veggie dish

[@briantaulbee5744]

Would a little sesame oil added at the very end enhance it even more?

[@limbodog]

Nevermind the dish, this was worth it for the tip on peeling garlic!

[@TS-tt1pn]

Lol'ed so hard at the comments section of all his videos, all of you are obsessed with his hot oil obsession XD

[@Gamezilla00]

Can you show us how to make soup dumplings? Please!

[@Nahnopenothanks]

I live in Ohio and no one sells pea shoots! I wish Chinese restaurants around here made real Chinese food instead of generic Americanized Chinese cuisine. Love your cooking videos btw!

[@naomitsuji-tamaki1441]

Hi Mike, can you make my favourite....sweet and sour chicken balls?.....pleaseeee
