• Yields: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1  lb  snow pea sprouts
• 1  teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1  teaspoon  minced garlic
• 2  tablespoons rice wine or 2  tablespoons sake

Directions

1. Cut away tough ends from snow pea shoots, watercress or other greens. In a colander, rinse vegetables thoroughly under cold running water. Drain or spin-dry and place in a bowl near the stove.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet or a wok over high heat. Add oil; heat until near smoking. Add greens and garlic, and toss with a spatula for about 20 seconds. Add rice wine and salt; toss lightly over medium-high heat for 1 minute or less, until greens are slightly wilted but still bright green.
3. Scoop out greens and arrange on a plate. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature.
