Bok Choy, Broccolini and Mushrooms Stir Fry

This bok choy stir fry is a super easy recipe and not much to comment about. I have tens of recipes waiting to be uploaded and I decided to do this one today because in one of the Plant Paradox support groups we remind each other every week that plants are the core of our diet, and this week’s hero plant was bok choy.

I love stir-fries and I love eating with chopsticks, so here it is, one of my favorite ones.

Bok choy stir-fry, an easy, plant-powered meal

Bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms – this nutritionally dense trio is made in heaven. Add some Asian flavors with sesame seed oil, coconut aminos, fish oil, ginger, and garlic and you have yourself a lectin-free, meat-free, soy-free, low carb treat, much healthier than your usual Asian takeaway.

You can serve this as your main meal, or as a side dish. You can add some pan-seared tuna, salmon, or even shrimps. It can be a great side dish for chicken or steak. Or, ad a gooey boiled egg on top for a late, filling breakfast.

While traditional stir-fry dishes require medium-high heat, I never go higher than medium, for any meal. If you have a wok, you can use one, but any large stainless steel skillet would work.

The aromatic base for this nutritional trio of veggies is fresh ginger and garlic. The vegetables don’t need much cooking, so this dish is perfect for when you have little time to cook but want something warm, comforting, and healthy. For a vegan version, skip the fish oil and add more coconut aminos. Finish with salt and pepper to taste.
