Ingredients
  

4 cups baby bok choy, washed and halved

2 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced (or your choice of mushrooms)

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, or green)

½ cup snow peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil for enhanced flavor)

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for depth)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and prepping all your vegetables to ensure a seamless cooking experience. Slice the mushrooms, bell peppers, and trim the snow peas. Halve and wash the bok choy thoroughly.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the other ingredients for the best stir-fry result.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

        Cook the Vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Then, add the sliced bell peppers and snow peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

          Add Bok Choy: Incorporate the halved bok choy, and stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt.

            Combine Sauces: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce over the vegetables.

              Toss and Serve: Stir everything to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

                Garnish: Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a burst of flavor.
