3 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add bok choy, and cook, turning once, until just beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add stock and soy sauce.

  • Prep work matters: Before starting, thoroughly clean and trim the baby bok choy and shiitake mushrooms. This step ensures the dish's cleanliness and removes any unwanted parts.
  • Braising finesse: When braising the shiitake mushrooms, ensure the liquid fully covers them. This technique infuses the mushrooms with intense flavor and creates a rich, savory sauce.
  • Season with care: Use soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to enhance the flavors of the dish. Adjust the quantities based on your personal preference and the desired intensity of flavors.
  • Perfect the stir-fry: When stir-frying the baby bok choy, cook it quickly over high heat to retain its vibrant color and crisp texture. Overcooking can result in limp and discolored bok choy.
