This healthy vegetable stir-fry provides the delicious flavor of white mushrooms in a dish rich with potassium, vitamin C and vitamin K. It makes a great vegetable side for any main course, and is simple and quick to prepare.
The broccoli is quickly blanched in water, then the mushrooms are sauteed with the carrots and green onions over medium heat.
Soak the broccoli in cold water with about 15 ml (1 tbsp) of salt while you prepare the other vegetables. Set a pot of water, deep enough to cover the broccoli, on high heat to boil.

Remove the stems of the mushrooms from the caps and wash the mushroom caps clean with a vegetable brush.
200 g white mushrooms
Cut the mushroom caps into 3mm (about 1/8 in) slices.
Rinse the carrot and green onion. Peel and slice the carrots. Chop the green onions diagonally, into 2-inch sections. Rinse and chop the broccoli.
