Last weekend it started showing up on Asian groceries so I got hold of it and made something Asian and it’s called Shredded Pork and Garlic Sprouts Stir Fry

I was just looking at a pork fillet in the fridge thinking… Mexican? Middle Eastern? Asian? If only I had some garlic shoots… Like the simplicity of this dish and of course the flavours!
I’d like to have some garlic sprouts. Scrumptious stir fry.
Love it, I’ve not had garlic sprouts for so long. May make this at the weekend, have pinned it, thanks.
Using egg white as a part of the marinade is a good idea. Take Care, BAM

Mmm my mon cooks this pretty often, but with prawns. Your version looks equally yummy!

Garlic sprouts…are they the bigger and longer version of the mung beansprouts?
No they are like spring onions but with a solid middle instead of being hollow
I’ve never had garlic sprouts before. I think I might like them too from the sounds of them.
We call them garlic scapes in the US. And yes, definitely short harvesting season but when it’s available they’re absolutely delicious and one of my fav items to use. Tasty stir-fry.
