Followup-To: poster Lines: 58 submitted by: pmakolon@mail.wiscnet.net Another stir-fry recipe, as requested. This is very good and with asparagus coming on before long (hope springs eternal...!). It does require a little time to do the chopping, but produce sections now carry fresh vegetables already prepared for stir-fry, so it's a snap. Recipe originally from JoLynn Hill, Roosevelt, Utah Good eating!
