Savory and quick vegetable side. This is one of those I threw together to use up an abundance of produce from the farmer's market, and it happened to be a hit :)

Ingredients

2 cups zucchini, very thinly sliced into discs
2 cups shitake mushrooms, stems removed and tops diced
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Steps:

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and saute until deep brown, about 7 minutes.
Add garlic and saute another 2 minutes.
Add zucchini, 2 T. soy sauce, and 1 T. water. Saute until zucchini is tender and becoming translucent.
In a small bowl, mix (scant) 1 T. cornstarch and 1 T. soy sauce. Pour over vegetables and mix quickly. This will thicken up quickly. (Add a bit of water if needed to help the sauce flow a bit.).

GLAZED SHIITAKES WITH BOK CHOY

Glazed Shiitakes With Bok Choy image

Gorgeous glazed shiitake mushrooms and tender green bok choy sparked with ginger, sesame and hot pepper work beautifully against more staid flavors, so consider serving them next to a traditional roast chicken or turkey. They also are delicious draped over a pile of rice.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 pounds baby bok choy
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 small dry red Chinese hot peppers
1 pound shiitake mushrooms (about 4 dozen), stems removed
Salt and pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
6 scallions, sliced diagonally, for garnish
1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cut off and discard stem ends of bok choy. Separate leaves, rinse and drain. Drop leaves into boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until barely cooked. Immediately remove, rinse with cool water, drain and pat dry. Arrange leaves in one layer on an ovenproof earthenware platter, then set aside.
Put a large wok or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add oil and heat until nearly smoking, then add hot peppers and shiitake caps, stirring to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and add garlic, ginger, sugar, sesame oil and tamari. Stir-fry for 1 minute more.
Spoon shiitake and pan juices over reserved cooked bok choy. Serve at room temperature, or if you prefer, reheat covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes in a hot oven. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.
