Hearty stir-fry dish :D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have come to enjoy the taste and texture of zucchini only recently. It goes well with my Mac ‘n’ Cheese recipe<\/a> and is delicious on its own in stir-fry.<\/p>\n

I came across a zucchini stir-fry recipe<\/a> with good reviews and tried it. It was not bad! The only modification I made was to add mushrooms as I wanted to finish up some remainin’ shiitake mushrooms in the fridge.<\/p>\n

Speaking of shiitake mushrooms (the fresh ones), those produced in China and sold at NTUC supermarkets have a strong chemical smell. Of late, I have started switching to locally grown shiitake mushrooms. It is called emperor shiitake mushrooms grown by Mycofarm. They are almost odorless and have a creamy texture when cooked. They are about twice the cost of those produced in China but I get a peace of mind.<\/p>\n
