Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 cups fresh bok choy, rinsed and sliced (separate stems and leaves)
  • 2 cups button or shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sauces and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (vegetable or canola)

Spices

  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse the bok choy thoroughly and slice into bite-sized pieces, separating the white stems from the leafy greens. Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly. Mince the garlic and grate or finely chop the fresh ginger.
  2. Heat the Pan and Sauté Aromatics: Warm 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn them.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms and Bok Choy Stems: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release moisture and begin browning. Then add the bok choy stems and stir-fry for a few minutes until they become tender-crisp.
  4. Combine Bok Choy Leaves and Sauce: Add the leafy bok choy parts to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar or lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir quickly to combine and allow the greens to wilt gently while soaking up the sauce.
  5. Final Touches and Serving: Once the bok choy leaves are tender but still vibrant, remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top as a fresh garnish and serve immediately with your preferred side.

Notes

  • Use a hot pan or wok to ensure the best sear and flavor development.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; stir-fry in batches if needed to avoid steaming the vegetables.
  • Prepare all ingredients and sauce beforehand as cooking moves quickly.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end by tasting and adding more soy sauce or vinegar according to preference.
  • This recipe is easily customizable with additional proteins, vegetables, or increased spice levels.
