Dice your garlic, onion and ginger root finely. Sauté until garlic is light golden brown, frequently stirring not to burn (about 2 minutes). Add all spices to the pot and mix through sauce for 30 seconds.
Pour red wine into the pot over the garlic mixture and simmer on high until reduced by half (5 minutes). While the red wine is reducing, chop mushrooms into halves or quarters if huge; set aside.
Once red wine has reduced, pour the stock into the pot (and any other liquid if using) and bring to boil with the lid on for 5-10 mins before reducing down to low-medium heat again with lid off.
Let the stew simmer at this point for an hour. After an hour of simmering, add pea shoots/sprouts and mushrooms to the pot. Do not put pea shoots/ sprouts in before this point, or they will disintegrate.
Let sit for another 10 minutes with the lid on without coming to boil; this is so the sprouts don’t go mushy. Serve into bowls with sesame seeds sprinkled over the top and a couple of drizzles of Liquid Savor to taste.
