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.
