Garlic Mushroom Bok Choy
Description
After rinsing and trimming bok choy, the larger leaves are halved lengthwise for even cooking. Heat a wok or pan with neutral cooking oil over high heat, then add minced garlic, stirring until aromatic. Shiitake mushrooms with stems removed are quickly cooked with the garlic before adding the bok choy.
Salt seasons the vegetables as they stir-fry. The leaves wilt gently while the stems remain crisp, offering texture contrast. Cooking proceeds until just tender, preserving freshness and bright flavor. The result is a simple, lightly seasoned vegetable dish with an umami note from mushrooms.
Serve this immediately as a vegetable side for Asian-inspired meals or alongside grains and proteins to add a fresh crunch and mild garlic flavor.
For a deeper flavor, substitute 1/2 tablespoon of Chinese bottled oyster sauce for the salt if available.
