Moo Shu Style Veggies

Maybe it isn't really Moo Shu without the pancakes, but it sure is yummy! This is a combination of textures, the harder vegetables like the carrot and turnip sliced into thin sticks, the savoy cabbage sliced into thin strips, mushrooms in sticks, tofu in strips, and the combination of salty and sweet from the Tamari and the Mirin.  Easy, one pot stir fry. We ate it with Lundberg's Black Japonica Rice. a gluten free whole grain with an almost fruity overtone and, according to the package, "containing the anthocyanin antioxidants like those found in blueberries and blackberries." The idea is to combine chewy, crisp, and soft, use what you have and like!

Moo Shu Veggies (serves 4 hungry -6 with pancakes and side dishes)

6 leaves Savoy cabbage
1 medium carrot
1 small turnip
6-8 Cremini mushrooms
1 large onion
2/3 of a block of firm tofu
3/4 cup pea shoots

1. Chop all the vegetables into strips.
2. Put about 3/4 cup water in a wok or large saute pan, adding carrots, turnip, onion, mushrooms, tofu and cabbage. Add Tamari and Mirin, and cook for 10 minutes covered, stirring and mixing the sauce into the veggies.
3. Taste for doneness and flavor of the sauce. Add tofu, stir and add the last 1/4 cup of water with another splash of Tamari or Mirin, covering for another 5 minutes and serve.
