Side Dishes

Chinese Braised Pea Shoots (上汤碗豆尖)

Chinese braised pea shoots is one of my favorite side dishes. Snow pea shoots and shimeji mushrooms are simmered in chicken stock infused with ginger, garlic, dried seafood and century egg, creating a vibrant vegetable dish that is full of texture and flavor. It is very easy to put together and allows you to enjoy a large amount of vegetables.
