Bok Choy & Shitake Mushrooms

Directions

Pour one cup boiling water over shiitake mushrooms and allow them to sit, covered for 30 minutes.

When they are ready add the cornstarch to ¼ cup of cool water and set aside.

Slice the mushrooms into bite sized pieces, removing the stems, and pour the soaking liquid into a skillet.

Add garlic and ginger.

Sim-mer for a few minutes and then add the mushrooms, the bamboo shoots, the broth and the soy sauce.

Simmer for at least 5 minutes.

Steam the boy choy separately (2-3 minutes, checking and tossing often), whole baby bok choy may take a little longer.

Add the bok choy to the mixture.

Stir in the cornstarch until it’s as thick as you like it.

Serve over rice.
