Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb baby bok choy, rinsed and halved
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, button, or your favorite type)
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the bok choy thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or sand. Halve them lengthwise. Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic and ginger.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their moisture.
- Add the Bok Choy: Add the bok choy halves to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the bok choy is tender but still crisp.
- Add Sauces: Pour in the oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauces are heated through.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil over the vegetables and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Transfer the dish to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the oyster sauce with mushroom sauce or hoisin sauce.
- Feel free to add a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes if you prefer some heat.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles, but you can also serve it alongside your favorite protein like tofu, shrimp, or grilled chicken for a more substantial meal.
