Mushroom Stirfry

From http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001852mushroom_stirfry.php
Glaze
2 Tbsp soy sauce (use wheat-free soy sauce if you
are avoiding gluten)
2 Tbsp honey
1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable broth

Sauce
3 Tbsp soy sauce (use wheat-free soy sauce if you
are avoiding gluten)
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce
1 Tbsp corn starch

Vegetables
4 teaspoons minced garlic
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
4 Tbsp vegetable oil, preferably a high smoke-point
oil such as grapeseed oil, peanut oil, or canola oil
About 2 lbs of cremini or button mushrooms, quartered
2 cups of a long-cooking veggie such as sliced carrots.
Other long-cooking vegetables that can be used are
broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, asparagus (
diagonally cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces), or green beans
(trimmed, diagonally cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces)
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup of a more quickly cooking vegetable such as red
bell pepper (stems, seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice)
or snow peas (strings and ends removed)
1 1b leafy greens - bok choy or napa cabbage (separate the
stems of the bok choy and the tougher core of the napa cabbage
from the greens)
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

1 Whisk the glaze ingredients together in a bowl and the
sauce ingredients together in a different bowl. In a third
bowl, mix the garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.

2 Heat 3 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a large, stick-free skillet
on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, without stirring,
until browned on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat
to medium and use tongs to turn the mushrooms to brown the
other side. When mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5
minutes, increase the heat to medium-high and add the glaze.
Cook, stirring to coat the mushrooms, 1 to 2 minutes more.
Transfer mushrooms to a large bowl. Wipe out skillet with
a paper towel.

3 Heat a teaspoon of vegetable oil in the skillet on medium-
high heat until the pan begins to smoke. Add carrots (or
other longer cooking veggie) and cook, stirring occasionally,
until they begin to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup broth
and cover skillet. Cook until carrots are tender, 2 to 3
minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid evaporates. Transfer
carrots to bowl with mushrooms. Wipe skillet clean with paper
towel.

4 Heat a teaspoon of vegetable oil in the skillet on medium
high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the bell pepper and
bok choy stems or napa cabbage cores and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the vegetables begin to brown and soften,
about 1 to 2 minutes. Add leafy greens and cook for a minute
further. Push the veggies to the side of the pan and add the
garlic-ginger mixture in the clearing. Cook 15 seconds, until
fragrant, and then mix in with the other vegetables.

5 Add all the vegetables back into the pan (mushrooms, carrots,
etc.). Add the sauce to the pan. Mix well and cook, stirring,
until the sauce has thickened and all the vegetables are coated
with the sauce, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving
platter. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately. Recommended with rice.

Serves 3 to 4.
