Notes
Use fresh garlic and ginger:Fresh ingredients provide the best flavor. If you’re in a pinch, ground versions can work, but the flavor won’t be as vibrant.
Adjust the sauce to taste:You can add more soy sauce or sesame oil depending on your flavor preferences. If you like it spicy, add some chili flakes or Sriracha.
Pre-cut the vegetables:Prepping the bok choy and mushrooms ahead of time can make this stir-fry even faster to prepare.
