Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 2 cups Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 pinch White pepper (optional)
Instructions
Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt and grit. Trim the bottom of each bok choy head and separate the leaves. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces. Peel and finely mince the garlic. Peel and finely julienne or mince the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the neutral cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Add the garlic and ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the baby bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the leaves start to wilt and the stems turn tender-crisp.
Give the sauce mixture a quick stir, then pour it into the skillet. Stir everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Sprinkle with a pinch of white pepper if desired.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
