Ingredients
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
3 oz. mushrooms, such as shiitake or button
1/2 inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 oz. snow peas, trimmed
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. mirin, shaoxing wine, or dry white wine
Kosher salt
Preparation
Step 1In a wok or large skillet, heat oil over high heat until it shimmers. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned and tender, 2 to 3 minutes.Step 2Add ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add snow peas and cook, tossing frequently, until slightly pliable, 3 to 4 minutes.Step 3In a small bowl or ramekin, combine soy sauce and mirin. Pour in the soy-mirin mixture and toss to coat. Cook until the mixture begins to cling to the vegetables, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and serve.
You could simply fry them with a bit of garlic and oil, but adding more veg like mushrooms, and simple sauce elevate it into a proper side. Serve alongside white rice and a fried egg, and you’re all set.
