Best Thai Basil Stir Fry

2 Tbsp peanut oil

1-2 garlic scapes, chopped

1 bunch cooking greens, chopped

handful of pea shoots, chopped

1 bunch Thai basil, chopped

1 small onion, cut into slivers

¼ cup vegetable stock

2 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari, to taste

1 tsp brown sugar or honey

1 tsp. Sesame oil

optional add-ins: scallions, sliced eggplant, shredded carrots, garlic tofu, chicken (grilled and cut into 1” pieces)

1. Prepare your sauce. In a small dish, combine the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the brown sugar, the sesame oil, and the garlic scapes.

2. In a separate small dish, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water.

3. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large saute pan.

4. When the oil is hot, add the greens, onion, and optional add-ins. Stir fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, adding the pea shoots and broth toward the end of the cooking time to keep the vegetables moist.

5. Pour the sauce mixture over the stir fry, then the cornstarch mixture.

6. Stir well, then add most of the basil. Cook for another minute or two until wilted. Remove the pan from heat and serve. Garnish with the remaining basil and serve over steamed rice.
