Mushroom, Asparagus, Snap Pea and Edamame Stir Fry
I love a hearty stir fry that reduces my dependency on meat to add heft to a meal. This stir fry is filling yet full of vibrant flavor, with zesty ginger and fresh vegetables. The mushrooms and fresh fettuccine add a substantial quality to this dish, believe me when I say you won’t miss the meat. Also, this healthy dish only takes 25 minutes to cook from start to finish, so it’s definitely worth a try on a weeknight when we are all rushing to get dinner on the table.
Mushroom, Asparagus, Snap Pea and Edamame Stir Fry
Prep time: 5 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes
What You Need
- 8 oz organic fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons sesame seed oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 8 ounces of white or brown mushrooms, sliced
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

What You Will Do
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a roiling boil. Add in the fettuccine and cook until al dente. This will take about 5 minutes. Strain and place to the side.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the sesame seed oil to warm.
- When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic and ginger, Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the edamame, mushrooms, asparagus and snap peas and sauté for 5 minutes until the asparagus turns bright green and you can easily pierce with a fork.
- Whisk together the soy sauce and brown sugar until it is fully combined.
- Pour the sauce over the sautéed vegetables into the pan and stir to combine and let the mixture heat through for a minute.
- Toss in the freshly cooked fettuccine noodles and sauté for a few minutes until the noodles are heated through.
- Pour the entire stir fry onto a large serving platter or into individual dinner bowls.
- Top with sesame seeds, green onions and chives and serve immediately.
Now the last thing you have to do, as my daughter would say, is Eat, Eat.
