Ingredients
- 1 cup Wild rice
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 8 oz Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the wild rice under cold water and drain thoroughly.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains start to split. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
Step 3
While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables. Trim the tough ends from the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and slice them thinly. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the green onions.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the asparagus and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the mushrooms release their moisture.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cooked wild rice. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss to coat evenly.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to allow the flavors to combine.
Step 8
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top before serving. Enjoy your Stir Fried Wild Rice with Asparagus and Mushrooms as a nutritious and delicious meal!
