Total time: 40 min
Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sesame oil; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated; 8 oz shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced; 4 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced; 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth; 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option); 1 lb bok choy, washed and chopped (separate stems from leaves); 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds; 3 green onions, thinly sliced; 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for heat)

Instructions

Prepare the aromatics

Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Sauté the mushrooms

Add the shiitake and cremini mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and begun to brown slightly.
Add the broth and bok choy stems

Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer. Add the chopped bok choy stems (the white parts) and simmer for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the bok choy leaves

Add the bok choy leaves to the pot and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the leaves are wilted but still bright green. Stir in the rice vinegar.
Finish and serve

Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
