1 small onion

2 large sweet red peppers

1.5 lbs fresh snow peas

oil

salt or soy sauce

1 tsp cornstarch

Directions:

Wash the mushrooms quickly with very hot water. Place them in a covered bowl with hot water to soften for 1 hour. Remove the stems before cooking.

Finely chop the garlic, ginger, and onion, setting them aside in one bowl. Wash and remove the seeds from the red peppers and cut them into 1.5-inch pieces. Wash the snow peas, removing any large stems.

Put 1/4 inch of oil into a skillet and fry the onion, garlic and ginger over a medium flame. Add a little salt to bring the water out of the onion. When the onion is transparent, add the red peppers, stirring continuously. After 1 or 2 minutes, add the mushrooms and 1/2 cup of water. Turn the heat down and cover.

Simmer for 5 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of water and add 2 tbsp of soy sauce. Add this to the pan along with the snow peas. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
