In less than 10 minutes, you can have a delicious plate of kohlrabi, bok choy, mushrooms and shrimp on the table with my easy stir fry recipe. Earthy mushrooms compliment the asian greens and kohlrabi in this low-sodium meal. For a vegetarian version, substitute tofu for the shrimp. For a gluten-free option or to amp up the veggies, go for cauliflower rice instead of brown rice. This meal for two can be doubled to serve four and if you can’t find kohlrabi with greens attached, just add more bok choy.
Ingredients:
1 medium kohlrabi bulb with leaves attached
1 medium or two small bok choy
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
3.5 ounces oyster mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces raw shrimp, defrosted if frozen
2 teaspoons coconut aminos (gluten-free choice) or low-sodium soy sauce
Brown rice, prepared
Directions:
- Remove leaves from kohlrabi bulb and roughly chop. Peel and dice kohlrabi bulb. Roughly chop bok choy, separating the light green stems from the darker top leaves. Set vegetables aside.
- Heat oils in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add kohlrabi bulb and bok choy stems and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing with a spatula. Add kohlrabi and bok choy leaves and mushrooms. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, until vegetables are tender and leaves are wilted.
- Push vegetables to the sides of the wok or skillet and place shrimp in the middle. Cook for about three minutes, flipping to cook both sides until shrimp are pink.
- Add coconut aminos or soy sauce and stir to evenly coat and mix shrimp with vegetables. Serve over brown rice and sprinkle with a little more coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce if desired.
