Notes
Use snow peas instead. Snow peas can easily be substituted for the snap peas, but you’ll want to reduce the cooking time down to just 2-3 minutes, since they are much thinner and cook very fast.Try a different mushroom. Shiitake mushrooms can be replaced with sliced cremini mushrooms, although they won’t be as flavorful.
