Golden Pea Sprout (Singapore) - 金豆苗 (新加坡）

Flavour & Texture: Grown away from light to achieve their distinctive golden hue, they're noticeably more tender and less fibrous than their green counterparts — almost melt-in-the-mouth with a gentle, almost floral sweetness. The thin tendrils and soft leaves cook down in seconds.

How to Use:

• 🧄 Wok-tossed with garlic — The gold standard preparation. High heat, good oil, crushed garlic, a pinch of salt. On the table in under 2 minutes and nothing short of stunning.
• 🍜 Noodle & soup topper — Drape over a bowl of wonton noodles, laksa, or clear broth just before serving — the residual heat wilts them perfectly without losing their delicate sweetness.
• 🥗 Raw in salads — Their tenderness means they work beautifully raw, tossed with a light sesame dressing, shaved radish, and toasted sesame seeds for a elegant starter.
• 🥚 Steamed egg or silken tofu garnish — Scatter over chawanmushi or cold silken tofu with a drizzle of soy and sesame oil for a simple dish that looks effortlessly refined.

Pro tip: Less is more — a simple preparation lets their natural sweetness shine. Heavy sauces will overwhelm them entirely. Treat them like a delicacy rather than a workhorse green and they'll reward you every time.

Storage: Extremely delicate — refrigerate loosely in their original packaging or a paper bag and use within 2–3 days. Handle gently to avoid bruising. Do not wash until just before use.
