Mango Teriyaki

So we have this terrific diner in Richmond called Silver Diner. They make really great food and as Mom would say, the best Chocolate Milkshake in Richmond. Since I can't try the milkshake I will have to take her word for it. But they believe in locally grown and organic foods. Which for a diner is awesome. For me, my favorite dish is this wonderful veggie pasta with Mango that they serve. I usually have them add shrimp since I like the seafood.

Well, the other day I thought I bet I can make something similar. We had Mangos 10 for $10 at Kroger so Richard bought me a few. Same with Broccoli. So I sat down and started cutting lots of veggies and 2 mangos up. Richard thought I was going a bit nuts with the veggies, but he had to admit, the final meal was fantastic. So here is my version of the Silver Diner Dish, with a few variations. Just remember, there is a Whole lotta choppin' goin' on here!

Mango Teriyaki

1 head of Broccoli - diced into 1 inch pieces
1 cup of baby Carrots, julienned
4 large stalks Celery, cleaned and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
10 Shiitake Mushrooms, julienned
1 cup Sugar Snap Peas
1/2 cup of fresh Cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup of Radichio, julienned
2 Mangos, diced
1 cup of shrimp
3 Tblsp Teriyaki
1/2 Lemon Juiced
2 Tblsp Wok Oil (Safflower infused with Thai Basil and Lemon Grass)
1 Tblsp Agave Syrup
Whole Grain Pasta (I used Spaghetti made with Whole Wheat this time, though I prefer Rice Pasta best)

I heated the wok and added the oil, lemon juice and agave. Once hot I added the broccoli, Carrots, Celery first. After they had cooked 3 minutes I added the Sugar Snap Peas. I put the lid on for just a bit to give these a chance to soften.

While the lid was on the veggies, I started the water boiling for the pasta. I know once I add the last ingredients and the shrimp I won't want to let it cook too long, so the pasta needs to be ready.

Once the Broccoli and Peas appear soft enough to poke with a fork I add the Cilantro, Radichio, Mangos and Shrimp with the Teriyaki Sauce.

When the Noodles are cooked, remove from the water and serve right away. This dish made enough for about 5 servings.
