Canadian Far North Stir-fry

1 ½ cups wild rice
1 medium onion, course dice

1 medium green pepper, course, 1/2 inch dice

3 cups (approx.) fresh mushrooms, sliced

¾ cup celery, course dice

1 cup green peas (snow peas may also be used).

¼ cup Soya sauce

White-pepper to taste

Cook wild rice. Drain, if necessary. Brown the bacon (game-bird or chicken meat) and drain on paper towelling. Sauté the mushrooms in 2 Tbsps. butter and toss with the rice. In skillet or wok, sauté, onions, celery, and peppers until slightly softened. Add bacon, cooked wild rice and mushrooms, peas, Soya sauce pepper and gently stir-fry together over medium heat for five minutes or until warmed through. Note: this recipe can be varied in many different ways, for example to decrease the amount of salt, the Soya sauce can be replaced with chicken stock. Serves 6-8
