Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the shimeji mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry to remove their bitterness, cooking until they are tender.

Season the mushrooms with salt and ground black pepper to taste, approximately 1 teaspoon of each.

Add the bok choy to the pan and stir-fry until it is wilted.

Pour in light soy sauce and stir to combine, noting that dark soy sauce or low sodium soy sauce can also be used.

Taste the dish to ensure the bok choy is crunchy and adjust seasoning if necessary.
