Ingredients

1 c. soy

2/3 c. rice vinegar

¼ c. toasted sesame oil

¼ c. peanut oil

2 cloves garlic (smashed)

1 T. fresh grated ginger

Pinch of crushed red chile flakes

1 lb + 2 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, cleaned, and thinly sliced

2 T. dry sherry

1 large yellow onion, diced finely

1 lb fresh spinach, stemmed, washed, and coarsely chopped

2 scallions, thinly sliced

1 t. sesame seeds

1 lb. orzo

Directions

Cook orzo so that it is not too soft (al dente). Whisk together soy, vinegar, sesame oil and ½ of peanut oil in a small bowl.

Using a wok (or skillet) over medium heat, poor in ½ of remaining peanut oil, then add garlic, ginger and chile flakes. Stir for 20 seconds. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until just soft, 2-3 minutes. Add the sherry, cook for 30 seconds and transfer to a brown.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the rest of the peanut oil. Add onions, cook until caramelized, 9-10 minutes. Add the spinach and steam until it wilts, about 3 minutes.

Mix together all ingredients (orzo, soy mixture, mushrooms, onions/spinach) in a large bowl.

This sounds like just the sort of thing I like to have ready in the fridge in case some wonderful person stops by! All I need to buy are the mushrooms. I'll be making this one tomorrow!
