Sauteed Baby Bok Choy with Shiitake Mushrooms

I saw a big bag of enticing-looking baby bok choy at the korean market. When I bought the bok choy, I had no recipe in mind. After getting home, I saw that I had a package of shiitake mushrooms. So I sautéed the two together and thoroughly enjoyed result.

I grabbed a handful of the baby bok choy bulbs from the bag and cut each one in half lengthwise.

Add olive oil to the pan. Once oil is heated, add minced garlic and cook briefly, 30 seconds. Then place the bok choy cut-side down in the pan. Let cook undisturbed until bok choy begins to brown, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Using tongs, turn each piece of bok choy and add the mushrooms. Add more olive oil to the pan, if needed. Once bok choy and mushrooms are cooked through (another 2-4 minutes), season with kosher salt and pepper and serve.

Notes

If you don’t like mushrooms, they can be deleted all together.

Other mushrooms can be substituted for Shiitakes in this recipe.

Bok Choy (instead of baby bok choy) can be used in this recipe. Since bok choy bulbs are bigger than baby bok choy bulbs, cut lengthwise into quarters.
