Stir Up The Week

Hello, hello!

This post is going to be very fast and to the point just the way I like it. Allow me to share my latest obsession…. Stir Fry! A new concept? Absolutely not. But, it’s a great way to eat healthy throughout the week and not cause a huge mess or take up a lot of time. I didn’t even get out my Wok for this one. So, let’s make…..

Bok Choy and Mushroom Stir Fry

what you need:

  • One bunch of baby Bok Choy

  • Mushrooms (I used a variety)

  • A pepper of your choosing, I used a few mini red ones

  • sauce and slurry (see below)

  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • 1/2 white onion, cut into bigger pieces

For the slurry:

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot

  • 2 tbsp water

    (what’s a slurry? Simply mix these two together to thicken a sauce or certain dish.)

For the sauce:

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 1/2 sesame oil

what you do:

  • Mix the sauce ingredients together and in a separate bowl, the slurry.

  • Trim the bottoms of the Boy Choy and cut in half. Then, throw some water in a pan or Wok maybe around 1/4-1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add them to the water and allow them to steam for around 60 seconds. Then set aside.

  • Add oil to the pan and add your mushrooms and peppers. After they are nice and cooked make some room in the pan and add in your garlic and onions.

  • Next, pour in the sauce and stir, then add the slurry.

  • Put your Bok Choy back in, give it a good stir and enjoy!

I was hiding from carbs when I made this, so I didn’t add anything else to the dish but if you wanted a heartier meal, you can serve this over rice or rice noodles.

As always, thank you for stopping by! Have the best Thursday!
