Teriyaki Mushrooms with Snow Peas (Oil-Free!)
Teriyaki Mushrooms with Snow Peas is a sautéed vegetable dish featuring a mix of mushrooms and crisp snow peas in an oil-free teriyaki glaze made from tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, and fresh ginger thickened with cornstarch. The dish offers a flavorful, slightly sweet coating with tender-crisp vegetables, suitable as a side or light main when served with rice or noodles.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. mushrooms I use shiitake, cremini, white button, fresh
- 6 oz. snow peas
- 3 green onions
- sesame seeds optional, for garnish or serving
- rice optional, for garnish or serving
For the teriyaki sauce:
- 1/3 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1/4 cup tamari
- 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp. rice vinegar
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch (or arrowroot, tapioca starch, etc.*)
Instructions
- Make the teriyaki sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Prepare mushrooms & peas: Wash or wipe mushrooms clean. Cut mushrooms into roughly the same size. Trim ends from peas and remove any tough strings. Slice green onions.
- Cook: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add mushrooms. (I use 1-2 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.) Cook mushrooms for about 3 minutes. Then add snow peas and green onions. Stir and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until veggies are crisp-tender.
- Add the sauce: Give the teriyaki sauce another stir and carefully pour into skillet. Stir well to combine, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
- Serve: Garnish with optional sesame seeds and serve warm.
Notes
- Tapioca starch can replace cornstarch; use twice as much tapioca starch for the same thickening effect.
- Any mushroom type or combination can be used, such as shiitake, cremini, white button, king oyster, or Portobello.
- The recipe produces an extra-saucy dish; sauce quantity can be reduced if a lighter coat is preferred.
- Teriyaki sauce can be prepared up to one day ahead and stored refrigerated until use.
- This dish is excellent served alongside grains like brown rice, quinoa, or as part of noodle or rice bowls.
