Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz shiitake mushrooms
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 stalks scallions
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Clean the shiitake mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and trim off the stems. Slice the mushrooms thinly.
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove grit and chop into bite-sized pieces, separating the stems from the leafy greens.
Mince the garlic cloves and peel and finely grate the 1-inch piece of ginger.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned.
Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Add the bok choy stems to the pot and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Then, add the bok choy leaves and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Thinly slice the scallions and add them as a garnish before serving.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your Shiitake Bok Choy Soup!
