Thoroughly wash and rinse the peapod stems, leave aside to drain.
Heat about 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan until its hot enough for cooking, usually indicated by bubbling when you tough the tip of a chopstick to the oil on the surface of the pan.
Drop in the minced garlic and let it cook for about 10 secs, should smell pretty good right about now. Drop in the peapod stems and sprinkle a pince kosher salt.
The salt does a great job in bringing out the flavor of the peapod stems and the garlic. Adjust amount of salt to your own taste.
This dish is done when the peapod stems take on a brilliant light green color.
