Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of fresh bok choy, chopped
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini work well)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- Optional: red pepper flakes for extra heat
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the bok choy thoroughly and chop into bite-sized pieces. Slice the mushrooms thinly to ensure quick cooking.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the chopped bok choy, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted but still crisp.
- If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for spiciness and sesame seeds for crunch. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- This stir-fry is best enjoyed fresh for optimal crispness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
- Enhance flavors with sliced bell peppers or shredded carrots. For extra protein, add toasted cashews or shredded chicken.
