Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 to 8 ounces pasta of your choice (short, twisty shapes work best)

  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetarian oyster sauce/mushroom stir fry sauce (or Oyster sauce, if not vegan)

  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon neutral-tasting oil (such as canola, avocado, or grapeseed)

  • 23 teaspoons minced garlic 

  • 3 cups bok choy, roughly chopped

  • 8 ounces mushrooms (button, cremini, or shiitake), sliced

  • ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the cooking water, then drain and set aside. While the pasta cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vegetarian mushroom stir fry sauce (or oyster sauce), and maple syrup to make the sauce.

  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, keeping the heat moderate so the garlic doesn’t burn.

  3. Add mushrooms, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until golden brown and the moisture has evaporated, about 4–5 minutes.

  4. Stir in the bok choy stems and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Add the leaves and cook just until wilted.

  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the top and toss to coat. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

  6. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2–3 days.

  • Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet with a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen the sauce and refresh the pasta.
