Joan Lunden's Brown Rice and Asparagus Stir-Fry
-- Former "Good Morning America" co-host Joan Lunden is one of the most well-known working mothers in America.
Her top priority has been to make sure that her children grow up happy and healthy, and her new book, co-written with Dr. Myron Winick, gives readers strategies and tips to do just that.
It features recipes that she says will boost a child's brainpower, help them to grow strong, and protect them from disease.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 cups asparagus trimmed and cut in thirds
1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
½ cup onions, chopped
½ cup celery, thinly sliced
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
Directions:
In a large frying pan or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, mushrooms, onions and celery. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Add the cooked brown rice (cook according to package directions) and soy sauce. Cook stirring for 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Joan's Tip: For some added protein, mix in lean meat such as chicken or pork.
