This quick side dish is adapted from Damn Good Chinese Food. The quantities below make 2 servings and preparation is about 15 minutes. The original used “mushroom water” from soaking dried mushrooms. I have used mushroom powder from Trader Joe’s
½ tsp. mushroom powder
¼ cup Shoaxing wine (Chinese cooking wine)
1 Tbs. soy sauce
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
¼ cup thinly sliced onions
1 Tbs. chopped garlic
1-1/2 tsp. chopped fresh ginger
5 stalks bok choi (or 4 pieces Shanghai (baby) bok choi)
In a small bowl, mix together the mushroom powder, wine, and soy sauce.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the oil. When it is shimmering, add the onions, garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the bok choi and stir to mix the onion, etc. with the bok choi. Cook for a minute or two without stirring to brown/char the bok choi. Add the liquids, stir, turn down to medium and cover. Let cook for a few minutes until the bok choi is cooked through.
