Delicious! But my sugar snap peas were still tough and stringy, I will try snow peas next time. My son wants to make this with chicken next time and no mushrooms.
Karin, please forgive my mistake! I wrote snap peas but meant snow peas. I’m glad you enjoyed the dish otherwise! Thanks for making it and for the comment.
Love,

I guess it could just as easily be red curry, if that’s what you have at home already?
