Teriyaki King Oyster Mushroom with Snow Peas

This wonderful teriyaki sauce is one of the easiest sauces to make, it is deliciously piquant and so versatile that it can be used on nearly anything: meat, vegetables, noodles or grains.

A little person like her, that’s pretty impressive! Dumplings pastry is widely available in Asian markets, some for soup and some for frying.  I used Japanese round Gyoza pastry here.  There are plenty of choices for the filling, either meat or vegetarian.  Normally, the filling mostly consists of meat, Chinese cabbage, spring onion and grated ginger.  The common meat version is minced pork, but …
