First CSA Meal of the Season

I received my first CSA order of the season last week and have been busy making some new dishes.  This is one simple dish I made almost entirely out of the food I received.

Carrot, snow pea, shiitake mushroom, local roasted whole chicken (available at Sawicki's, where I picked up my order), brown rice, tossed with some rice wine vinegar and black bean sauce and topped with fresh pea shoots.  Yummy and fresh.
