Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1-2 teaspoons ginger (grated or minced)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (more for a sweeter sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Stir Fry Vegetables

  • 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
  • 4 cloves garlic (grated or minced)
  • ½ tablespoon ginger (finely chopped or grated)
  • 4 heads baby bok choy (chopped)
  • ¾ cup prepared stir fry sauce (from above)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vegetable stock, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sugar or honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes if using. Alternatively, combine these in a jar with a lid and shake until well mixed. Set aside.
  2. Cook Mushrooms: Heat a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the water content to evaporate and mushrooms to begin browning.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the neutral oil to the pan and let it heat. Stir in the grated garlic and ginger, cooking for about one minute until fragrant.
  4. Add Bok Choy: Toss in the chopped baby bok choy and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the bok choy starts to soften but still retains some crunch.
  5. Incorporate Sauce and Simmer: Pour in approximately ¾ cup of the prepared stir fry sauce. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the bok choy stems are tender yet crisp.
  6. Serve: Spoon the stir fry over cooked rice. Garnish as desired with green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, or sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness of the sauce by varying the amount of sugar or honey to your taste.
  • For extra heat, increase the pinch of red pepper flakes or add fresh chili slices.
  • The remaining stir fry sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use neutral oils with high smoke points like canola or vegetable oil for best stir-frying results.
  • Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or your preferred grain for a complete meal.
