Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 2 king oyster mushrooms
  • 4-5 heads baby bok choy
  • 2 pinches salt
  • some cooking oil
  • 1/2 green onion
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • some ground black pepper
  • 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
  • starch water (1 tbsp starch + 2 tbsp water)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the king oyster mushrooms in half lengthwise, then slice thinly. Trim the baby bok choy and cut them in half or into quarters lengthwise depending on size.
  2. In boiling water, add 1 pinch of salt and blanch the king oyster mushrooms first. When the water returns to a boil, add the baby bok choy and blanch briefly until wilted, then immediately drain and remove excess water.
  3. Heat oil in a pan, add sliced green onion and 1 tbsp minced garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant.
  4. Add the blanched king oyster mushrooms and baby bok choy, then add 1 pinch salt and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Stir-fry lightly to season.
  5. Pour in 200ml water, add some ground black pepper and 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce, adjust seasoning, and bring to a boil.
  6. When the sauce is bubbling, gradually add the prepared starch water while stirring to thicken the sauce to desired consistency. Finish and serve.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Do not over-blanch the baby bok choy or it will lose its crunch. Once it wilts slightly in the boiling water, drain immediately for the best texture.
  • When serving as a side dish or over rice, 1.5 tbsp of oyster sauce is appropriate. If enjoying as a light snack or a simple dish by itself, you can reduce to 1 tbsp. You can also substitute cabbage for the baby bok choy.
