Shitake Mushrooms and Bok Choy

One dish that my kids and I really enjoy is braised fresh shitake mushrooms with steamed bok choy. This dish is great for vegetarians because it does not have any type of meat in the dish nor the sauce. In traditional Chinese banquets, this dish is a must but made with dried shitake mushrooms (need to be soaked overnight to rehydrate) and abalone. This dish is extremely easy to make and very inexpensive. The bok choy can be replaced with any type of leafy vegetable that you like.
