Baby Bok Choi with Oyster Mushrooms

Hi Everyone,  today I have a recipe for baby bok choi sauteed with garlic and oyster mushrooms.  I am fortunate in that I have dried whole lime leaves in my cupboard and the addition of a few of these, used like bay leaves, really brightens up the flavor of this dish, and many others.  They may be purchased at an Asian food market.  However, the dish will still be tasty if you are unable to include them. 

Baby Bok Choi with Oyster Mushrooms:

Slice up a couple of cloves of garlic and saute in a pan with olive oil and salt.  when the garlic begins to turn golden, add about 1/4 lb sliced fresh oyster mushrooms and saute together. Make sure that you have enough oil in the pan.  After about a minute add the cleaned bok choi, salt and 2 or 3 lime leaves.  I like the really small ones (bok choi) because you can cook them whole. Lower the flame and let them cook slowly.  They don't need much time at all so keep your eye on them.  You don't want them to get mushy, just soften nicely.   When done, remove the lime leaves.  A garnish of toasted sesame oil is also a nice addition.   Mmmmmm, so nice and fresh!  Enjoy, xo.
