Sauteed Pea Sprouts
Author: 
Recipe type: Side Dish
 
Ingredients
  • 1 8 oz package of pea sprouts
  • 3 - 4 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 package Trader Joe's chicken flavor broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil (or peanut oil)
  • Dash of salt (optional)
Instructions
  1. Wash pea sprouts and drain really well.
  2. Heat canola oil on medium high heat in a large pan.
  3. Chop garlic into thirds.  Cooking with large garlic pieces minimizes the intensity of the garlic.  If you prefer a really mild garlic flavor, don't bother to chop it at all.  But if you prefer intense garlic flavor, chop finely, or use a garlic press.  Add garlic to the pan and allow this to cook for about 1 minute to flavor the oil, but don't let it burn or else your sprouts will taste bitter.
  4. Add pea sprouts to pan.
  5. Dilute 1 package of Trader Joe's broth in ¼ cup water and pour over pea sprouts.  I use the chicken flavor broth, but they also have vegetable if you're looking for a vegetarian option.
  6. Toss sprouts and cook for 3 minutes.
  7. Season with salt, optional.
  8. Remove from heat immediately and serve.
