Stir-Fried Wild Rice With Asparagus and Mushrooms image

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.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I substituted zucchini in this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe was way too salty for my taste. I had to rinse the rice several times before cooking it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice was still undercooked. I had to cook it for an extra 10 minutes.

I found that this dish was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and ginger to give it more flavor.

I'm not typically a fan of wild rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The nutty flavor of the rice paired perfectly with the fresh asparagus and savory mushrooms.
