Ingredients
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 6 oz. sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 1 cup shelled English peas
- 1/2 cup pearl barley
- 2 Tbs. rice vinegar
- 2 Tbs. soy sauce
- 2 Tbs. water
- 1 Tbs. firmly packed golden brown sugar
- 1 tsp. sambal oelek or other pure chili paste
- 1 Tbs. Asian sesame oil
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green garlic, or 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 2 fresh kaffir lime leaves
- About 1/4 lb. pea shoots
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan half full of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the snap peas and English peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a colander and rinse under cold water. Set aside. Return the water in the saucepan to a boil, add the barley and cook until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, the 2 Tbs. water, brown sugar and sambal oelek until blended. Set aside.
- In a large, heavy fry pan over high heat, warm the sesame oil. Add the green garlic, green onions and lime leaves and stir-fry until the green onions are tender, about 30 seconds. Add the reserved snap peas, English peas and barley along with the pea shoots and stir to coat. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir and toss until the peas and pea shoots are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and serve immediately. Serves 4.
