A quick and healthy dish combining the freshness of green peas with the earthy flavor of mushrooms, enhanced with a savory soy sauce glaze.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil.
Use enough water to fully submerge the peas for even cooking.
Add the green peas to the boiling water and cook until tender.
Taste a pea to check for doneness; they should be tender but not mushy.
Drain the peas thoroughly using a colander.
Shake the colander gently to remove excess water.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding other ingredients to prevent sticking.
Sauté the mushrooms and green onions until tender.
Stir occasionally to cook evenly and prevent burning.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Garlic cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Combine the cooked peas with the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
Mix gently to avoid mashing the peas.
Drizzle with soy sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste preference.
Serve the dish immediately while warm.
Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds for a touch of freshness.
