Garlic Scapes

My friend S dropped off some garlic scapes and I made a yummy stir fry with them. I had not made these before.  I trimmed the tops off and cut the rest into 4 cm lengths. I noticed the ends are like asparagus, being less tender. Daughter L and I loved them.  Husband M said they are not his thing.



6 Garlic Scapes trimmed and cut into 4 cm lengths
3 green onions diced
2 cloves garlic minced
4 tbs canola oil for stir frying

Stir fry sauce:

1 tbs dark soy
2 tbs light soy
3 tbs oyster sauce
1/2 tsp chili garlic sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs cornstarch dissolved in 1/2c tbs cold water


Heat oil in a saute pan. Add green onions and garlic.  When the garlic browns, add the garlic scapes.  Saute for 5 minutes.  Mix the sauce in and continue stirring for a few more minutes until the scapes are fork tender.
