Ingredients
- 6 heads baby bok choy
- 200 grams cremini mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of baby bok choy and separate the leaves. Rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any grit or dirt.
Step 2
Slice the cremini mushrooms into thin slices. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Grate or mince the ginger.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot skillet, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Step 6
Add the baby bok choy to the skillet, pouring in the water or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the bok choy to steam for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 7
Remove the lid and pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss the vegetables until evenly coated in the sauce, and cook for another minute.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve the baby bok choy sauté with mushrooms immediately as a side dish.
