Pea Sprout

Pea Sprouts, also known as dou miao (豆苗), are the young, tender shoots of the pea plant, prized for their delicate texture and fresh, slightly sweet, grassy flavor. They feature thin stems, soft leaves, and sometimes curling tendrils, and are commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. Quick to cook, they are often stir-fried with garlic, added to soups, or lightly blanched to preserve their crispness and bright green color. Pea sprouts are not only delicious but also rich in vitamins A, C, and folate, making them a nutritious and elegant addition to many dishes.
