My favorite baby bok choy recipe! Plenty of veggies and a tangy ginger garlic sauce make this easy stir fry a delicious, flavorful weeknight meal.

Recipe type: Main dish
Serves: 2
Ingredients
sauce:
  • 1 ½ tablespoons tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus extra lime slices for serving
  • ½ teaspoon honey (or maple syrup if vegan)
  • ½ teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
for the stir fry:
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil (or any high-heat oil)
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
  • ½ small head broccoli, florets chopped, stems peeled into strips
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 2 baby bok choy, sliced vertically into quarters
  • ½ cup edamame
  • 1 carrot, peeled into thin strips
  • 4 ounces brown rice pasta *(see note)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • sambal or sriracha, for serving
Instructions
  1. Make the sauce by stirring together the tamari, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse and set aside (or leave them in cold water or toss with a little oil to prevent clumping).
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and broccoli, stir to coat then let cook 1 to 2 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften and the broccoli begins to brown. Give the pan a good shake and stir, then add the scallions, bok choy, and edamame. Cook, stirring occasionally for another 2 minutes, until the bok choy and broccoli are tender but still vibrant.
  4. Add the carrots and noodles and toss. Add the sauce, toss again. Add a squeeze of lime. Taste and adjust seasonings. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with extra lime slices and sambal or sriracha on the side.
Notes
For gluten free soba noodles, I like the King Soba brand. For brown rice pasta, I like Delallo.
