Sauteed Snowpea Leaves with Garlic
What are Snow Pea Leaves?
Snow pea leaves are the tender shoots and leaves of the snow pea plant. Sautéed quickly with plenty of garlic, they stay bright green and slightly sweet. They're a restaurant-favorite vegetable that's easy (and much cheaper) to make at home.
Unpopular opinion, but I love snow pea leaves WAAAAY more than water spinach. (But tell me why restaurants charge nearly $20 for this dish 🥴) Whenever restaurants have this, it's my top vegetable pick!
