Remove strings from snow peas, if necessary. Remove stems from shitkes, and slice mushrooms thinly. Heat 2 TB canola oil in saucepan or wok, gradually raising heat to medium. Fry tempeh slices in batches, until one side becomes golden; turn and fry other side until golden. Remove and drain on paper towel. Add 1 TB canola oil and sesame oil to pan; raise heat to medium-hot. Add snow peas,mushrooms, onions, and garlic; saute ONLY until onions are translucent, not brown, and snow peas are bright green. Then add drained tempeh. While stirring and tossing, add the teriyaki sauce; be careful to turn the heat down, as the sauce will sizzle `dramatically` according to the author. Season with pepper. Serve over brown rice, garnishing with slivered green onions and almonds if desired. Serves 4.
