Bok Choy with shiitakes and sesam seeds

Today I found some Bok Choy at the grocery store and I immeadiatly had to buy it. I really Love Bok Choy that much. My first taste with Bok Choy was of course an asian dish, and since then I buy it when ever I see it. This time I tried it with mushrooms - though I don't really love the mushrooms but sometimes I make them.

Bok Choy with Shiitakes and Sesame Seeds

1 t coconut oil

3.5 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1/2 t ginger, minced

1 clove garlic, minced (or use a clove from your garlic confit, if you made some!)

1 head boy choy, chopped

1/2 c water

1 t wheat-free tamari or coconut aminos

1 T sesame seeds

 

Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ginger and garlic and saute for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add bok choy, water, and tamari or coconut aminos and stir, then cover with a lid. Allow to “steam” for 2 minutes, then stir and allow to steam again for another minute or so, until bok choy is tender-crisp. Remove lid and allow excess liquid to evaporate, stirring occasionally. Add sesame seeds and toss once more.

 

Serves 2-3.
