2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil

0.5 pound bok choy, baby variety

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

# Instructions:
01 -
Get a big pot of salty water boiling fast. Set up a bowl filled with ice water on the side. Toss the bok choy in the boiling water and cook just for 60 seconds. Quickly drain, then drop it into the ice water bowl to cool fully. Once chilled, drain again and pat it dry with a towel or paper.

Crank up the heat and warm the oil in a pan. Stir in the chopped garlic, giving it roughly half a minute to release its smell. Toss in the cooled bok choy, coat it well in the oil, and stir while cooking for about 2–3 minutes until you see a little browning start.

Pour in the soy sauce and mushroom sauce to flavor the bok choy. Stir it all together, letting it cook for another minute. Move everything to your serving plate, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top, and season lightly with salt and pepper before bringing it to the table.
