Bok Choy and Shiitake Mushrooms in Garlic Sauce

Step 1

Make the sauce: In a small bowl combine all sauce ingredients and whisk to combine. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare baby bok choy: Cut bottom ends off. Rinse very well. Chop white parts into about 1-inch wide pieces. Chop leaves into about 1/2-inch wide pieces.

Step 3

Wipe shiitakes clean, and trim ends. If the shiitakes are small, I leave them whole. Otherwise, slice or halve them.

Step 4

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 3 Tbsp. vegetable broth (or water). When hot, carefully add shiitakes. Stir and sauté 2-3 minutes. (Add a splash more broth/water if needed to prevent sticking.)

Step 5

Add bok choy and sauté 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add sauce to pan. Stir well to combine and sauté 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Spoon any leftover pan juices over the top before serving. Garnish with additional sesame seeds or more tamari if desired.
