Edamame Stir-Fry

Active Work and Total Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Vegetarian

    2 tablespoons oil
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 1/2 cups frozen, shelled edamame
    1/2 cup snow peas, stem-ends trimmed and strings removed
    2 cups nappa cabbage, cut into 3x2-inch strips
    2 tablespoons water or chicken stock
    1/4 cup vegetarian oyster sauce or regular oyster sauce
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    Dash white pepper
    Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
Heat a skillet over high heat and add the oil. Wait until a wisp of white smoke appears, then add the garlic and cook, stirring, until light brown, about 20 seconds.

Stir in the edamame, snow peas and cabbage and reduce the heat to medium. Add the water or chicken stock and cook, covered, for 30 seconds.

Stir in the oyster sauce and soy sauce, making sure to coat all the vegetables well, and cook for about 30 seconds. Once the vegetables are cooked through but still crisp, 4 to 5 minutes, add the white pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Serve it with rice.
