Braised Baby Bok Choy
2 pounds baby bok choy or mature bok choy
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
Trim the base of the bok choy, then chop off the leaves. Cut the base in half lengthwise, then cut the halves crosswise on a diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Cut the leaves crosswise on a diagonal into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
Place a large wok or a pot large enough to hold all the bok choy over medium heat. When it is hot, add the olive oil and rotate the wok or pot a bit to coat it evenly. When the oil is hot, add the onion and stir-fry until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bok choy and season with the salt and pepper. Cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and serve hot.
Serves 4 to 6

Baby bok choy has a sweeter flavor than adult varieties. For a lighter taste, feel free to stir-fry the baby bok choy in olive oil. Low-sodium chicken broth can be used in place of water.

2 slices ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup water
A few drops sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil for stir-frying

Baby Bok Choy with Shiitake Mushrooms
If you can't find baby bok choy, look for the smallest heads of regular bok choy and cook the stems a minute or two longer.
2 pounds baby bok choy
1 TB olive oil
1 TB minced fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps sliced into 1/4"-wide strips
1 TB cornstarch
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup water
Trim 1/4" off root ends of bok choy. Cut into 2" sections, keeping stems and leaves in separate piles.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add bok choy stems and mushrooms and cook, stirring, two to three minutes or until vegetables are beginning to soften.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, pepper, and water, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved. Add bok choy leaves and cornstarch mixture to pan and cook, stirring constantly, for one minute or until sauce is slightly thickened and leaves are just limp.
