- 1 Tbs. peeled and grated fresh ginger
- 1 lb. green pea shoots, tough parts removed

- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp. salt

- 1 tsp. chili paste
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- 3/4 lb. cleaned squid, cut into bite-size pieces

Instructions
- In a wok or large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 Tbs. of the peanut oil. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the pea shoots and green onions and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the broth, salt and pepper and cook until the pea shoots are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
- In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, chili paste, sugar and sesame oil.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and warm the remaining 2 Tbs. peanut oil. Add the squid and stir-fry until opaque, about 2 minutes. Return the pea shoots to the pan, add the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry, tossing to combine and heat through, about 1 minute. Using the slotted spoon, transfer the greens and squid to a platter. Serve immediately over rice. Serves 4.
