Ingredients

• 4 heads Baby bok choy
• 200 grams Fresh shiitake mushrooms
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut each head in half lengthwise, or quarter them if they are larger. Drain well and set aside.

Step 2

Gently wipe the shiitake mushrooms with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and slice the caps into thin strips.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger using a microplane or finely mince it.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and water. Set the sauce aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.

Step 8

Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan and add the bok choy, cut side down. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the bok choy begins to wilt and the stems are tender but still crisp.

Step 9

Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Remove from heat and transfer the bok choy and shiitakes to a serving platter. Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice as a light main course.
