ROW: Oyster Mushroom Stir Fry from One Scoop At A Time
I make an effort to include a wide range of opinions and lifestyles in my circle of friends. Nowhere is that more apparent than in their food choices. Seriously, I have a friend I love dearly who has a hard time ordering something other than chicken fingers when we go out to dinner. I once dated a guy who had never eaten fruit- and had no interest in doing so. While neither of these eating personalities reflect my own (the produce aisle being, predictably, my natural habitat), I love them for who they are and covertly broaden their horizons (barring allergies) every time they’re over.
Ok, point one made.
Point two is that no matter how much I love my picky palated friends, I save a special place in my heart for kindred eaters. They love vegetables and new flavors and fresh ingredients as much as I do. Maybe a fried green tomato here and there, but generally? We love to taste the food.
No doubt I’ve found one such kindred eater in Linda from One Scoop At A Time. A mushroom maven to her very core, Linda has never met a maitake she didn’t like. Her entire blog is full of wonderfully spiced but thoroughly approachable dishes, reported with joy from a northern California kitchen. This week’s recipe of the week is oyster mushrooms in a spicy sauce with Chinese garlic chives but I assure you, ma amie de mushroom will not disappoint you should you explore her blog further.
