2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 clove garlic, minced

In a wok or very large skillet heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 4 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in skillet. Add mushrooms and shallots; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add cabbage. asparagus, and apple; cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes more or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Change things up and serve this stir-fry over nutrient-loaded oven-roasted sweet potato slices instead of plain white rice.
