Ingredients

• 6 heads Baby bok choy
• 200 grams Mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or button)
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Water or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Green onions (optional, sliced for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the bottom ends of the baby bok choy and separate the leaves. Wash thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit and pat dry.

Step 2

Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp towel and slice them into even pieces.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water or vegetable broth, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 7

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 8

Add the baby bok choy to the skillet, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the bok choy is tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 9

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir well to coat the vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
