Bok Choy

Bok choy (aka pak choi or pok choi) is a type of Chinese cabbage but unlike regular cabbages, they do not form heads and have leafy greens with bulbs at the bottoms.

Some describe the flavor as somewhere between spinach and water chestnuts with a slight hint of sweet and peppery undertone.

How to cook Bok Choy Mushrooms Stir Fry

First gather your ingredients:

2 tbsp cooking oil of choice
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed
3 bunches of Shanghai bok choy
1 cup white button mushrooms, sliced
Salt, as desired

Cut off the end of your bok choy with a knife and discard.

Slice the bok choy in to 1-2 inch pieces, but separate the whites from the leafy green parts.

Heat oil in a cooking pan or wok over high heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until aromatic.

Add the white pieces of bok choy and mushrooms in to cooking pan or wok. Stir fry for about a minute, and then add the leafy greens.

Stir fry for 30 seconds, and then add 1/4 cup of water and cover with a lid for about a minute.

Uncover the cooking pan/wok, and then add salt as desired. Stir fry for another minute or until everything is tender – bok choy should be vibrant green, and mushrooms should be tender.

Remove from heat and serve!
