Ingredients

  • 1 lb. baby bok choy (about 3 heads)
  • 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth (or water)
For the garlic sauce:
  • 2 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare baby bok choy: Cut the bottom ends off each head. Rinse the leaves and stems very well. Chop the white parts into about 1-inch wide pieces. Chop the leaves into about 1/2-inch wide pieces.
  2. Prepare mushrooms: Rinse or wipe the shiitakes clean. Trim the tough ends off the stems. If the shiitakes are small, I leave them whole. Otherwise, slice or halve them.
  3. Cook: In a large pan over medium-high heat, add vegetable broth (or water). When hot, add the mushrooms. Stir and sauté 2-3 minutes. (Add more broth/water if needed to prevent sticking.) Then add bok choy and sauté 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Make the sauce: Meanwhile, add all sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  5. Combine: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the sauce to the pan. Stir well to combine and sauté 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Taste and adjust flavors if desired. (Add more ginger, tamari, etc.) Spoon any leftover pan juices over the top before serving. Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Thicker sauce: The sauce runs thin, so add 1 tsp. cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) to the sauce to thicken if desired.
  • For gluten-free: Use GF tamari.
