I used peanut oil because I was out of vegetable oil. DH added some diced chiken to his because he 'has to have meat'. A meal in itself! Very easy to prepare.
Served over rice. Enjoyed the recipe, especially the 'heat' of the red pepper flakes.

Bok choy and mushrooms are a perfect combination. This recipe has great flavor and is simple to make. I used a combination of button and shiitake mushrooms (equalling more than 1 cup) and I subbed one of the tbsps of veg oil for sesame oil. That added a nice punch of flavor. Those red pepper flakes gave a nice "kick" to the recipe. Thanx for posting!
