Preparation

Step 1
Place mushrooms in a bowl, cover with warm water and allow to sit for 30 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Mix soy sauce, sherry, sugar, cornstarch and vinegar together in a bowl. Cut venison into strips about one-half-inch wide and two-inches long, mix with the soy sauce mixture and allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 3
After 30 minutes drain the mushrooms, remove stems and cut caps into slivers. Drain the venison, reserving the marinade.
Step 4
Heat oil in a wok or a skillet. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger and chili for a few seconds, then add the red peppers and mushrooms. Stir-fry for several minutes. Add the venison. Continue to stir-fry until the venison strips begin to firm up. Add the marinade mixture and stir-fry until the sauce begins to thicken, add the scallions and sesame oil, stir-fry another few seconds, then serve.
