Healthy Bok Choy Mushroom Stir Fry

Did you ever have someone ruin vegetables for you? During my childhood there were some really bad experiences of over-sautéed batches of bok choy. They were so overcooked, that I went around for years declaring that I, "didn’t like bok choy," and saying things like, "it’s gross!" But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I realized a few years ago that it’s actually so delicious and crisp, when made correctly.

This is my favorite vegan meal that I have on those nights when I’ve baked a lot of cakes and cupcakes and I need something that feels healthy and is also delicious. I like to take a bunch of batches of bok choy, slice off the ends and saute them with buttered mushrooms. The sesame oil at the very ends adds such a nice touch to them. I serve it over steamed white rice and my whole evening feels complete.
