Once again a recipe is born at the farmers market. Not only the delicate maitake mushrooms, but also a beautiful pink fresh ginger root! Super easy to create a stir-fry from these beginnings – using brown rice, of course. I prefer the short grain version that has a nutty flavor and better texture for this purpose. This is a 20 minute recipe if you have your pot of rice ready. Thinking of a Meatless Monday.
