Stir-Fried Snow Peas with Mushrooms

Serves 4

This was one of my mother's recipes. It is a quick, easy, healthy and delicious Chinese-style side dish that complements most any meal. Use any mushroom you prefer, such as white button, cremini or shitake.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola or other vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (see comments above)
• 1 pound snow peas, cleaned and patted dry
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth or water
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce, preferably lower sodium
• Pinch of granulated sugar
• Pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Add the peas, broth, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Stir fry for about 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Serve immediately.
