Stir Fry




Here is a recipe I found on one of my favorite cooking sites... The Pioneer Woman Cooks. You can see the recipe here. It isn't difficult to make, but there is a lot of ingredients, so don't let that scare you. It is delicious!

10 white mushrooms, sliced
1 small jar baby corn, cut into pieces
1/3 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
