Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 200g vegetarian char siu, sliced
• 150g fresh snow peas, stringed
• 10g dried wood ear mushrooms, rehydrated and sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon vegetarian oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps

1. Rehydrate the dried wood ear mushrooms in warm water for 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain and slice them into thin strips. String the fresh snow peas.
2. In a small bowl, combine the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, white pepper, water, cornstarch, and sesame oil to make the stir-fry sauce. Mix well and set aside.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Add the sliced vegetarian char siu to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
5. Add the snow peas and sliced wood ear mushrooms to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the snow peas are vibrant green and crisp-tender.
6. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the ingredients in the wok. Toss everything together quickly to coat evenly, allowing the sauce to thicken.
7. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
