Asparagus, chicken and mushroom - Roxanne 21 - 12-12-2007
Stir fry---Issue 32 page 40
this was dinner tonight----don't know how I passed over this one before BUT what a great taste fest!!! So very easy and wonderful for a light dinner---Peter pigged out on bagels today.....we went to the "New York Deli" and loaded up on some goodies soooo I had to do something sort of light.
I served with a rice pilaf---perfect combo. Something to take a look at if you like stir fries---we do!!!
Dessert you ask???? Haagen Daas double chocolate cookies and cream (new on the shelves here---oh my!!!
) We sure miss Ben and Jerry's but this hit the spot for the ice cream craving....Now to find a way to blow up the Haagen Daas compartment

Yum! I've fixed that one a couple of times. Know what I haven't really made before? Pilaf...I've made something I called pilaf, but it wasn't really. Got a good recipe?
Re: Asparagus, chicken and mushroom - Roxanne 21 - 12-13-2007
Just a quickie thing I do----- saute a bit of onion then brown some vermicelli in a little butter, add the amount of rice you want (two of us have 1/2 cup, uncooked) then add enough water/chicken broth to about 1/2 inch above the level of the rice in the pan and cover over VERY low heat---let cook until the water is absorbed, turn off heat and let pan sit until the moisture is totally gone---dry rice kernels, in other words. You could add anything you wish to the saute part of the process---green or red minced pepper/garlic/spring onion, finely diced carrot--too many possibilities there---I do what the mood tells me according to the main dish. Asparagus and mushroom säid "KISS" (keep it simple, stupid) so that's what I did---great side. I'm sure everybody out there has a favorite for pilaf---the vermicelli is the main addition though---IMHO

Asparagus, Chicken, and Mushroom Stir-fry
(Cuisine at home, April 2002, Issue 32, p. 40)
Makes: About 4 Cups Total Time: 25 Minutes Rating: Easy
Prepare:
1 lb. asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
8 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
4 oz. chicken breast,thinly sliced
1 T. fresh ginger, peeled, minced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Combine:
3 T. brown sugar
3 T. lime juice (1 lime)
2 T. low-sodium soy sauce
1 t. chili garlic sauce
1 t. cornstarch
Stir-fry in:
1 T. vegetable oil
Serve with:
Steamed white rice
Prepare first five ingredients, keeping the chicken separate.
Combine sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl (crush cornstarch lumps with your fingertips to dissolve). Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Stir-fry chicken in the hot oil for 1min., stirring constantly. Add asparagus, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger; stir-fry another 4 min., stirring constantly to prevent the garlic and ginger from burning. Add the soy sauce mixture to the vegetables and simmer 1 min., or until sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
Serve the stir-fry with steamed white rice.
