Sweet Pea Sprout/ Tau Miu Anchovies

Tau Miu vegetable (Cantonese language), actually I’ve search many places to find the name of this vegetable. Unfortunately its not available in wiki but some did mentioned its called the sweet pea sprout.  It’s a tiny vegetable with sweetness from within. If you wonder, I could only describe, it looks like the alfafa’s big brother. Why big brother, the stem is thicker, the tiny leaves brunching out are bigger and more green. The roots have been cut away.

If the vege dries up while you are cooking, you may add ¼ cup of water to avoid it from burning. All I can say this is a refreshing dish with natural sweetness in it. Adding in the crispy fried anchovies. It is just so appetizing.
