Meaty oyster mushrooms are great at absorbing spices and offer a chewy-firm contrast to bright and crunchy sugar snap or snow peas in this versatile stir-fry. The cooking will move quickly so have all of your ingredients near your stove and at the ready before you start. Enjoy these bold vegetables with rice and a simple side, such as the Greens With Magical Sesame Salt.
