Recipe

Slice 5 cloves of garlic into thick slices, not too thin.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chicken stock, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Mix well to make the stir-fry sauce.
Heat 3 tbsp cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
Once the garlic aroma is released, add the washed and drained pea shoots. Stir-fry over high heat until the volume reduces by half.
When the pea shoots are about halfway wilted, give the sauce a quick stir and pour it in. Toss everything together quickly to coat evenly, then finish.

Stir-fry thickly sliced garlic in oil to release its fragrance.
Add pea shoots and stir-fry quickly over high heat until they reduce in volume.
Pour in the oyster sauce and chicken stock sauce, toss to coat until glossy, and serve.

Cooking tips

If pea shoots are hard to find, you can substitute with bok choy, spinach, kale, or any leafy greens you prefer.
Before adding the sauce, make sure to stir it again to reincorporate the settled starch so the sauce thickens evenly.
The key is to stir-fry the vegetables over high heat for a short time; prolonged cooking will release too much moisture.
