Celtuce and Mushroom Stir-Fry

Also known as asparagus lettuce, celtuce is grown primarily for its stems, which lend a crunchy, slightly nutty flavor to raw and cooked dishes.

MAKES 4 SERVINGS

2 teaspoons peanut oil

1 pound celtuce, peeled, thinly sliced crosswise

1⁄2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced

1⁄2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon toasted (dark) sesame oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a wok or large nonstick skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add the celtuce and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender and liquid is greatly reduced, about 3 minutes. Serve at once.
