👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine all stir-fry sauce ingredients (except avocado oil and sesame seeds) in a small bowl.
2. 2Prepare the bok choy. Wash and dry the bok choy. Sometimes dirt can be trapped in the base of the leaves. Remove any damaged outer leaves. If the heads are large, I like to slice them in half or quarters lengthwise so they cook faster. Trim the ends.
3. 3Prepare the mushrooms. Wipe the mushrooms with a soft cloth. Trim or remove the stalks. You can leave them whole or slice them.
4. 4Cook the mushrooms and bok choy. Heat the oil in a skillet or wok then add the mushrooms. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they release their juices then add sliced bok choy. Cook until the vegetables have softened slightly. The bok choy should still be tender-crisp at the base/
5. 5Combine with the sauce. Lower the heat and add the stir fry sauce, coating the vegetables.
6. 6Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and/or sliced green onions and serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice or noodles.
