Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing the fresh mushrooms thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel, then slice them thinly for even cooking and chop the bok choy stalks into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, pour in about two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the skillet and sauté them for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out to avoid overcrowding. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  5. Toss in the chopped bok choy stalks and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Add the leafy greens and cook for an additional minute until wilted.
  6. Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves completely.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, tossing everything together for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving.
