Abracadabra – Marco Polo dinner

I’m always getting the complaint that there’s nothing in the fridge for dinner. That’s what happens when there is no meat around. Well I fooled Fred last night and fixed a tasty ‘Chinese’ dinner in less than 30 minutes. Actually I called it our Marco Polo dinner because I didn’t feel like cooking brown rice for 45 minutes so I substituted orzo pasta. Strange, I know. But it worked.

Saute in vegetable and sesame oil:
Baby Bok Choy
Onion
Mushrooms
Bamboo shoots
(optional) Broccoli pieces

Add 1-1/2 cups broth mixed with 2 tsp corn starch and soy sauce to taste. Cook down to desired consistency of sauce. Serve over orzo!

Saturday Morning Market Winners

Found a great organic vegetable stand at the market and bought a few things to test out in new recipes.

Loved seeing the white eggplant, the minature bok choy, the fresh ginger, and the orange tomato.
