Bok Choi & Shitake Stir Fry
June 22, 2009
I often make some kind of noodle as part of dinner, serving them plain to the boys with the sauce or whatever on the side. I was looking for udon in my store but couldn’t find any, so tonight I cooked up some Ka-Me Wide Lo Mein Noodles to go with the stir fry. Hello, totally plain noodles. Neither boy would touch them! I don’t get it. Even A. wasn’t willing to try the stir fry tonight — they were both tired and I didn’t press the issue.
I really liked the stir fry: I sliced the farm share bok choi and let it cook in a frying pan over high heat for a few minutes, then added some fresh, sliced shitake mushrooms. The veggies released enough liquid so that they cooked quickly. Then I added about a quarter cup of Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki. Wow, is that stuff delicious! Merrie recommended it to me a while ago as a chicken marinade, but it worked perfectly as a sauce for this stir fry. I loved the sesame seeds in it. The only problem is it’s pretty high in sodium (20% of your RDA in one tablespoon, although a little goes a long way), and I found myself needing liters of water afterward. Still, I will happily use it again.
I mixed the lo mein noodles in with the stir fry and had a fantastic dinner in less than 15 minutes. If only I could get the kids to eat it…

Love all 3 varieties of Soy Vay. I have been looking for a low sodium replacement but cannot find one.

Did you get the Soy Vay at a regular grocery store? That dish looks so yummy!
I bought mine at a local Whole Foods-type store, but they sell it in the regular supermarkets around us too. That may be a regional thing, though — not sure about down by you! — Dara
