Soak mushrooms in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Remove and discard stalks and roughly slice.
Heat oil in a large wok over high heat. Add onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until softened. Add mussels and cook for 2 minutes or until they start to open. Add mushrooms, prawns and snow peas, and stir-fry for 1 minute or until prawns start to turn pink. Add chicken stock powder, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar, and stir-fry for 1 minute or until prawns are just cooked and snow peas are tender.
