Wash the sugar snap peas thoroughly and trim the ends if needed.
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then slice them into thin, even pieces.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the sugar snap peas to the skillet and sautΓ© for 2-3 minutes until theyβre bright green and slightly tender. Remove the peas from the pan and set them aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, followed by the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic, sautΓ©ing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Return the sugar snap peas to the skillet, tossing them with the mushrooms and garlic.
Stir in the soy sauce, butter, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is well-coated and heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the dish to a serving bowl.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
