Directions
Step 1
Clean the shiitake mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and trim off the stems. Slice the mushrooms thinly.

Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove grit and chop into bite-sized pieces, separating the stems from the leafy greens.

Mince the garlic cloves and peel and finely grate the 1-inch piece of ginger.

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned.
Step 6
Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Step 8
Add the bok choy stems to the pot and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Then, add the bok choy leaves and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Step 10
Thinly slice the scallions and add them as a garnish before serving.
Step 11
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your Shiitake Bok Choy Soup!
