Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Stirring Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced about 1 teaspoon / 5 g
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups bok choy, chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish about 1/4 cup / 25 g

Instructions

  • Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to brown and soften.
  • Incorporate the chopped bok choy into the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the bok choy is tender but still retains some crunch.
  • Pour the soy sauce and rice vinegar into the skillet. If desired, add the crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Stir everything together to combine and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if necessary.
  • Remove from heat. Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For added protein, consider tossing in some diced tofu or chicken.
The heat level can be adjusted by increasing or reducing the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
Ensure that the bok choy is well-washed as it can often harbor grit between the leaves.
For a complete keto meal, serve alongside cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles.
