豆苗 (dou miao) are distinguished by "large'' and "small''. 大豆苗 (Da dou miao), the large shoots, come from the mature pea plant. These are sometimes labeled as pea leaves in supermarket. The other version is the small sprouts- pea sprouts (below).
There's ginger in this stir-fry, adds zest, but not spicy. Spicy stir-fry leafy greens vs non-leafy greens; or non-spicy stir-fry non-greens vs greens, which is your preferred ? I love all of them!

Oooh, I haven't bought this small 豆苗 for ages...very simple and easy to cook.
ReplyDeleteNice! A quick and easy dish that can be ready in 10 minutes!
ReplyDeleteWere the pea sprouts easy to wash? I mean - did they have a lot of sand and soil in them like spinach?
RM, this was my 1st time buying it in CA. 豆苗 taste really different from other veg (kailan, you chai)
ReplyDeleteSim, and surprisingly, it's one of the easier veg. to wash and clean.
Defintely less sand and soil than spinach. So, waste less water ...rinsing ;p
I like the "big leaf" version, crunchy and very leafy.
