Baby Bok Choy with Shiitake Mushrooms

I like to try to include green vegetables in my meals whenever I can and I really like mushrooms. When I came across this dish for baby boy choy with shiitake mushrooms that combines the two I bookmarked it immediately to try later. Given the Asian flavours and the fact that mushrooms go really well with steak, I thought that it would make a perfect side for the sichuan peppercorn steak . This side dish was a breeze to pull together; you simply saute the shiitake mushrooms, add the liquids to form the sauce and pour it over the steamed baby bok choy. The shiitake mushroom sauce was really tasty and good. It had a nice spicy heat that went really well with the mouth numbing sichuan peppercorns on the streak for a one two punch! It was nice having a bite of steak followed by a bite of the spicy mushrooms. What a tasty way to enjoy your green vegetables. I will definitely be making this again.

  13. I love baby bok choy! I’m marking this one to try… might have to cut the heat a bit if I want my little guys to eat it though. My husband would love the spice!

  28. Hajimemashite…I’m an international graduate student in Miami from Japan. I’m happy to find your blog. I am not good at cooking but I am trying to cook Japanese food by using things I can buy at regular americaan supermarkets. Your recipes are wonderful. In Japan, we often eat “Grilled Shiitake with Soy source and Butter” at home. It is mother’s taste, not at restaurant.

    You are a great creater!
