STIR-FRIED WILD RICE WITH ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS
A wonderful combination of flavors. Serves 4 as an entree or 6 as a hearty side. Add grilled tofu chunks for more protein. If you can't afford shitake mushrooms, it would probably be good with creminis. Cooking time includes rice, which you can do ahead of time. I cooked the 2 different kinds of rice together in a rice cooker with lots of water for about an hour. Adapted from The One-Dish Vegetarian by Maria Robbins.
