Pea Sprout Stir Fry

I’ve been sprouting seeds and loving it. Made a tasty stir fry with some pea pods I had in the freezer, onions, sweet peppers and pea sprouts. It ended up tasting pretty darn good. I find when I stir fry veggies I eat more of them. More than a side dish, I can almost make a meal out of them served over rice or pasta.

Pea Sprout Stir Fry

2 T. oil

 1 onion, sliced thin

1 garlic clove, chopped

2 c. pea pods, fresh or frozen

2 c. pea sprouts*

1 c. sliced sweet pepper

1 T. soy sauce, or to taste

 1 T. hoisen sauce

1 t. sesame oil

hot pepper sauce to taste

In skillet or wok heat oil and stir fry onion over high heat until wilted. Add garlic and pea pods and stir fry 2 minutes longer. Add pea sprouts and peppers and stir fry a few minutes longer, just until sprouts are tender. Add seasonings and serve. I like this over rice. 3-4 servings.

* If you don’t have fresh pea sprouts, mung bean sprouts would also work in this dish.
