"This fast yet tasty colorful vegan dish is a hit with my picky vegetarian friend and non veg husband. I remember making several vegetarian dishes before and this was the one that had no left-overs."

This recipe is fabulous! I feel like it's straight from a really good Chinese restaurant.I used baby bellas and red & green bells. Served it over crispy pan fried noodles. It's important to use the rice wine and the sesame oil. I actually used rice vinegar the last time I made it and it was very good.Btw, champignon mushrooms is just another name for button shrooms.

Fabulous! Love peppers and mushrooms and loved them together in this stir-fry. I used one red, one yellow and one green pepper which meant I had to increase the mushrooms and garlic. NOT a problem! Before I made this, as I didn't have any Chinese rice wine, I read through all the reviews and found that Dreamer in Ontario had successfully used white wine, so that's what I did too! We greatly enjoyed this with a simple rice dish, and it's certainly a recipe which I'll make again - often. Thank you for sharing it Pneuma.

This was great - I used purple bell peppers and baby bella mushrooms. I omitted the olive oil and just sprayed my pan with cooking spray to save a few calories! My only trouble was that I didn't make enough.... I should have doubled it to feed the three of us; it just wasn't quite enough. I loved the very simple sauce; I used hot sesame oil adding it at the very end as directed and then served over soba noodles. I think it would be great with white rice too! Made for PRMR tag.

Great taste and colourfu!. I love mushrooms and peppers. I didn't have any rice wine and used white wine instead.

Amazing recipe! Simple sauce, simple ingredients but GREAT taste! I used 1 red & yellow bell peppers, 1 can sliced mushrooms, 1/8 medium cabbage, 1 medium red onion, 4 clove chopped garlic, 3.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 Tbsp Shaoxing wine (I didn't have Chinese Rice wine), 1 tsp sesame oil, garnish with spring onions. Pair well with steamed Thai Jasmine rice.

I thought that this recipe was fabulous! Instead of using wine, I used 3/4 teaspoon brown sugar and 3/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Overall, the recipe was delicious due to all its wonderful flavours. I strongly recommend this should be made for parties and special occasions and even daily!

Loved this simple to do side. I don't usually eat mushrooms but ate all mine up in this. I used Sake in place of rice wine and kecap manis as I was out of soy, mine was probably a little sweeter due to the ingredient substitutions but worked well with this dish served alongside some chicken skewers & rice. Thanks Pneuma!

What a great recipe! Quick, tasty, relatively cheap and healthy, I've made it several times since discovering the recipe on this site a month or so ago, and it's been a huge hit every time. I think the versatility is what makes it one of my favorites - I substituted white wine for the Chinese rice wine as suggested by another poster, and tahini for the sesame oil since that's what we had. My family also enjoyed this dish with carrots, potatoes, squash, celery, peanuts, cashews, etc. Thank you so much for sharing this excellent recipe!

I added snow peas and Mandarin oranges. With thee yellow bell peppers it made me think that you were bitting into something really sweet. Turned out magnificent

LOVED it! DH is not a big fan of mushrooms (or peppers) and he gave thumbs up! I used red and yellow peppers and added in a generous pinch of red pepper flakes. And I used chinese rice vinegar instead of rice wine. Thank you, Pneuma, for sharing this wonderful recipe, I definitely will be making it again!
