Crisp snow peas and savory mushrooms are stir-fried in a light sauce for a quick, elegant side. This vegetarian, healthy family dish is low calorie and supports clean eats goals.
Trim the ends of the snow peas and thinly slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the scallions and mince the garlic for even cooking.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the pan and let it heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, ensuring the aromatics are fragrant but not browned.
Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, keeping the heat high so mushrooms release moisture without steaming.
Toss in the snow peas and continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes, just until crisp-tender and bright green.
Push vegetables to the side, add soy sauce and sesame oil around the pan edge to sizzle, then quickly toss everything to coat.
Finish with freshly ground black pepper and the green parts of scallions. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking, and serve hot.
