Stir Fried Snow-Pea Leaves in a garlic sauce

I cannot profess my love for greens enough!

They are AWESOME! Be it spinach, bok choy, snow-pea leaves, chinese broc or watercress I enjoy them all without reservation.

But I must confess, I do resent the time it takes to wash and hose the greens down. Even the third wash throws up surprising amounts of sand and dirt(Boo!!!)! Anyway, if you can get past the stage of thoroughly washing the greens of your choice, here's how you quickly you can make a plate of steaming-hot stir fried greens in a garlic sauce:

Take a bunch of snow-pea leaves or watercress and chop them randomly post cleaning them thoroughly. 

Now place the wok on the flame and pour some vegetable oil into the wok. Once the oil is hot, add some sliced garlic. Make sure the garlic slices are nice and thin(use 3 large pods or its equivalent). Wait until they turn golden and toss in some salt and red chilli flakes.

Next toss the greens into the pot.Add additional salt and white pepper as desired. Cook the greens for about 3 minutes while stirring them constantly until most of the liquid has evaporated and the snow-pea leaves have wilted and are tender. Do not cover the wok while cooking the leaves at any stage...and you're done.

An appetizing bowl of stir-fried greens awaits. Dig in!:)
