I made this for dinner for some friends last evening. It got such rave reviews, I though I'd post the recipe. BEEF & ZUCCHINI STIR FRY Feeds 4 very hungry adults. 3 med onions (or 2 large) 10 oz (dry) noodles 3 or 4 cloves garlic grated Parmesan cheese 2 thin slices gingerroot 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 3/4 lbs zucchini 2 medium tomatoes 1/2 lb mushrooms 1/4 cup soy sauce peanut oil Cut each onion in quarters from root to stem. Then slice about 1/4-inch thick. Peel and slice the garlic. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Cut the tomatoes into bite-size chunks. Slice the mushrooms. Heat wok until very hot. [While the wok is getting good and hot, put up the water to cook the noodles.] Add a few tablespoons of oil to the hot wok. Immediately add the onions and stir fry until they are kind of soft and semi-transparent. Remove onions to a heated dish. Again heat wok until very hot. Add another tablespoon of oil, then add the garlic and gingerroot. Stir fry until the garlic starts to turn brown. Add the ground beef. Stir fry until the meat is no longer pink. [Add the noodles to the boiling water.] At this point I take a meat baster and remove the fat (from the meat) from the wok. Now add all of the other ingredients (including the onions); stir well; then cover the wok and turn down the heat. When the noodles are done, turn off the fire under the wok. Drain the noodles and rinse according the package directions. For each serving, put some noodles on a plate; add the beef and zucchini mixture, then top with grated Parmesan cheese. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Alas, the zucchini is coming into its own (i.e. taking over the garden). I would like to share two things about zucchini I found out this year. (1) There is a variety of zucchini that grows more in a bush form than a vine form. This not only make it a much more managable plant, it makes it alot easier to find the squash. Look on your seed packet next spring, the bush type will be marked as such. (2) There is a wonderful cookbook out called "The zucchini Cookbook, and other Squash." I forget the publisher, but it's a paperback, (one of those short wide ones), (alot of help, I know!). Just thought people might be interested. Chris N. AT&T Information Systems Denver, Colorado druxm!cjn
