ever since i cooked up our bok choy from our csa two weeks ago, i couldn’t get it out of my mind. i had forgotten how much i like it, but now that i remember, watch out!
we didn’t get more in our csa box for week 2, so of course i picked up 2 more heads of it while i was at the farmers’ market on saturday.
i also happened to have some tofu in our refrigerator, which is not a common occurrence since brad isn’t the biggest fan. i was craving it though, so i figured i’d use it for lunches or a meal that brad wouldn’t have to eat. but then this dinner idea popped into my head (inspired again by this recipe from elana’s pantry), so i decided that brad would have to like it!
the last *star* of this dish was the fresh baby bella mushrooms i got at the farmers’ market as well. i also threw in a bunch of radishes that i got from one of my co-workers.
yum.
so many great ingredients – how could this not be good?
bok choy and tofu stir fry

Keywords: stir-fry entree vegetarian bok choy tofu spring summer
ingredients (serves 6)
for the vegetables
- 2 small/medium heads bok choy or 1 large head
- 6 radishes (1.5 inches in diameter each), sliced

instructions
slice and prep all vegetables
whisk together sauce ingredients until combined, set aside
heat oil in a pan or wok on medium heat
add bok choy and stir occasionally until leaves begin to wilt
add radishes, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant
add tofu, mushrooms, and sauce and stir until well coated
cook, stirring frequently until all vegetables are cooked through
sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately
this really did make a lot of stir fry, so you could definitely leave out some of the vegetables or only use half a block of tofu.
we like leftovers, though, so this was perfect for us! we got two entree servings plus 3 or 4 side servings of the stir fry.
bonus: i used up those radishes!
i love radishes, but i always have a hard time figuring out what to do with them besides eating them raw dipped in hummus. this totally worked!
i just discovered that our csa lists the items we will receive that week on their website. spoiler alert – we get more bok choy!

do you like bok choy?
are there any foods that you really like, but your significant other/roommate/etc. doesn’t like?
brad isn’t very picky, which i am so thankful for, but he doesn’t love tofu or baked goods with raisins in them.
i love cinnamon raisin bread and banana bread with raisins in it, but if those are his only two food complaints, i’ll take it.
