Clean and rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Slice each head in half lengthwise.
Wipe the cremini mushrooms clean and slice them thinly.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and grate the ginger finely.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Increase the heat slightly, add the bok choy halves to the skillet cut side down, and stir-fry for 3 minutes until the leaves wilt and the stems are tender-crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables, and toss to coat evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish.
Transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately as a side dish or with steamed rice as a main.
