Exotic mushrooms stir fry - whenever it calls for quick dinners

Stir-Fry is one of the most popular Chinese dishes.  It is loaded with delicious ingredients like chicken, noodles, bell peppers, broccoli, mushrooms and more colourful vegetables. For me stir fries are the easiest and tastiest way to use up whatever produce you have on hand.  Just serve it along with some grilled chicken breast or pan seared salmon and you have a seriously hearty and nutritious meal. Enoki Mushrooms Mushrooms are a common form of fungus. They grow all over the world in woods or grassy areas where there is plenty of moisture. They vary in colour and shape. The most commonly grown type, the button mushroom.  These are sometimes considered the true mushrooms. A mushroom is neither a fruit nor a vegetable; technically mushrooms aren’t even plants. They are a special type of fungus—a notion that puts some people off. If you don’t mind the fungus part, though, mushrooms are a great addition to a healthy diet—not to mention totally delicious. Shim
