1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
1/3 lb pea pods
1 small sweet red pepper, cut into strips
10 mushrooms, shitake or white, sliced

Heat sesame oil in nonstick skillet or wok. Add garlic and ginger, and stir for about 30 seconds.
Add chicken and cook in hot oil 4 to 5 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.
Remove chicken from skillet. Add pea pods, red pepper, and mushrooms, and cook, stirring, until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper.
