Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups chopped bok choy
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup water chestnuts, sliced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients before beginning: chop vegetables, mince garlic, and measure sauces.
- Heat sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Add sliced mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until beginning to brown. Stir and continue cooking until golden, about 3-4 minutes total.
- If using bell peppers or other firm vegetables, add them now and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Add bok choy stems first, followed by leafy parts 30 seconds later. Cook for 1-2 minutes until stems are tender-crisp and leaves are just wilted.
- Pour soy sauce around the edges of the pan. Add rice vinegar and oyster sauce if using.
- Toss quickly to coat all vegetables evenly and cook for another 30 seconds until sauce is slightly reduced.
- Turn off heat and stir in sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra protein, add cubed tofu, edamame, or cashews.
- Make sure all vegetables are dry before adding to the hot pan to ensure proper browning.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute tamari for soy sauce.
