So tasty, you get the natural umami, smoky, earthy flavours from the mushrooms and sweetness from the mangetout. For this recipe, I like the mangetout tender with a bit of crunch. We have stir fry mushroom and mangetout every Chinese New Year as we have vegetarian for breakfast on the first day. Nowadays, I cook this dish very often as it is super tasty and easy!
