Directions
-
Slice the mushrooms and chop the green onions. If using fresh peas, shell them if necessary; if using frozen, keep them in the freezer until ready to cook.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to brown and release their moisture.
-
Add the green peas and the water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
-
Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the peas are tender and the mushrooms are fully cooked.
-
Remove the lid. If there is excess liquid, increase the heat to high and cook for another minute to evaporate it.
-
Stir in the chopped green onions and low-sodium soy sauce. Toss everything together for 30 seconds until the onions are just wilted and the dish is well-coated.
-
Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.

Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or skillet.
Substitutions: You can use butter instead of vegetable oil for a richer flavor. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or snap peas for extra color and crunch.
Tip: For frozen peas, there is no need to thaw them before adding them to the skillet; the water will help steam them perfectly.
Variation: Add a splash of sesame oil at the end for an Asian-inspired twist.
