Description
This classic Chinese vegetable dish of stir-fried snow pea tips is simple, but its popularity at restaurants and banquets and with home cooks alike is a testament to its deliciousness. Also known as snow pea leaves or sprouts and dòu miáo in Mandarin, the tips are made up of the leaves and part of the stalk of the snow pea plant; look for them at markets specializing in Asian ingredients or at farmers' markets. With stir-frying — the classic cooking method — the leaves wilt and become silky like spinach and the hallow stalks turn crisp-tender. The flavor is earthy and slightly sweet, and the dish can be as easy as just adding a little oil, garlic and white pepper, although in this version, ginger, Shaoxing wine and fish sauce add a touch more complexity. The whole cooking process is very quick, and the tender vegetable can be on your table in about 15 minutes start to finish.
