Shoppers can discover new varieties of basil, taste hot sauce or sample the diverse flavors of honey collected from hives in different forage areas of Boulder County.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s umami-rich recipe from the Boulder County Farmers Markets is a classic Asian-inspired stir-fry with flavors designed to showcase fresh vegetables and mushrooms.

You will also find another cousin, <em>tatsoi<\/em>, a leafy green with a more tender leaf and earthy flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple varieties of fresh local mushrooms are available. Besides dependable cremini or shiitake, look for black pearl mushrooms, which have a toothsome texture that serves as the perfect plant-based meat substitute.<\/p>\n<h2>Summer Bok Choy and Mushroom Stir-Fry<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tablespoons soy sauce<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon oyster sauce<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons local honey<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon sesame oil<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon cornstarch<\/li>\n<li>1 pound bok choy, cut into small pieces<\/li>\n<li>About 2\u00bd tablespoons peanut or canola oil<\/li>\n<li>About 1 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped into large pieces<\/li>\n<li>2 large garlic cloves, peeled and minced<\/li>\n<li>1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced<\/li>\n<li>2 green onions, sliced<\/li>\n<li>Salt, to taste<\/li>\n<li>Optional: zucchini slices; red chile flakes; chopped jalapeno<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix two tablespoons water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, pepper and sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
