Ingredients

  • teaspoons agave nectar to taste (or natural sweetener )
  • 1.5 pounds baby bok choy ( 5)
  • large carrots cut into matchsticks
  • teaspoons cornstarch 
  • 0.3 teaspoon sesame oil dark
  • 14 ounce tofu pressed (or 8 ounces packaged baked tofu)
  • cloves garlic minced
  • tablespoon ginger minced
  • ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 0.5 cup orange juice fresh
  • tablespoon rice vinegar 
  • tablespoons soy sauce gluten-free low sodium
  • cup water chestnuts fresh canned peeled drained (from water chestnuts or , )

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • wok

Directions

  1. Cut the bottom, whitish part of the stalk into 1/2-inch slices. Set them aside and slice the green leaves thinly and place on a separate plate.
  2. Cut the tofu into slices or cubes.
  3. Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, agave, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  4. Heat a large wok or deep skillet. Quickly spray with canola oil, if necessary, and add the bok choy stalks, carrot, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add water chestnuts, garlic, and mushrooms and continue to cook until mushrooms begin to soften, about 2 more minutes. Stir in the bok choy greens, place the tofu on top, and cover tightly. Steam briefly until greens are wilted and bright green, about 1-2 minutes. Stir the orange juice mixture, add it to the skillet, and bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds.
  6. Serve with rice or other grain.
