In small bowl combine soy sauce, garlic, hoisin sauce and gingerroot. In large glass baking dish arrange lamb chops. Pour on 1/4 cup soy mixture, turning chops to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In large skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray cook onion over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add celery and cook 2 additional minutes. Mix in bell peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, peppers and remaining soy sauce mixture. Cook for 4 minutes. Stir in pea pods, turn off heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
