Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams snow peas
- 200 grams button mushrooms
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the snow peas. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Peel the ginger and grate it to measure 1 teaspoon.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the neutral cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they have released their moisture and softened.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes, maintaining a crisp texture.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the cooked dish to a serving platter.
Garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately as a side dish or a light entrée.
