Quick, the kids are sleeping! This dinner was a perfect combination of healthy, delicious and fast! Leftover brown rice and a quick mushroom and kale stir-fry in the wok. Yum! The avocado was amazing on the side. First off, doesn’t avocado make everything taste better? and then with the sriracha in the kale the avocado was a nice cooling element.
Quick Mushroom & Kale over Brown Rice
- 8 ounces mushrooms any type, sliced (I used cremini mushrooms)
- bunch of kale, destemmed and chopped
- cooked brown rice
- olive oil, 1-2 tablespoons
- mirin, 1/4 cup
- rice vinegar, 1/8 cup
- white cooking wine, 1/4 cup
- sriracha, a few dashes depending on how spicy you like it
- 1 avocado (optional)
- salt, to taste
In a wok or large frying pan heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the kale, mirin and white wine. Using tongs toss to coat and keep cooking kale to cook it down (3-5 minutes). Add the mushrooms and cook another 3 minutes till they become soft. Add sriracha and salt to taste. Plate over brown rice and slice avocado on the side.
Enjoy and if possible sit down and relax by the fire your amazing husband built while you cooked dinner 🙂
