Bacon with Snow Peas

bacon with snow peasToday I want to share a delicious and super easy bacon with snow peas stir fry recipe with you. I used only four simple ingredients: bacon, snow peas, mushroom and garlic to make this dish.

To start, I cooked the bacon over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes until the fat is released and the bacon is crisp and browned. I then put the bacon slices on paper towel to soak up excessive oil and chopped them into small pieces to set aside.

First, I stirred in the other half minced garlic, once they are fragrant, I added the mushrooms into the pan. When the mushrooms appear to have turned soft, I stirred in the snow peas and seasoned the dish with salt, soy sauce and black pepper.
