This Chinese-style stir-fried greens dish is light, savory, and packed with umami from mushrooms, ginger, and goji berries. It comes together quickly and makes a simple, healthy side dish for rice, noodles, or any home-cooked meal.
Soak the dried mushrooms in warm water until softened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, squeeze out any excess water, and slice thinly. If using, season the mushrooms lightly with soy sauce, sugar, pepper, cooking wine, and sesame oil. Heat a wok over medium-high heat, add the ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.



Add the leafy greens to the wok and toss well. Season with mushroom sauce, mushroom seasoning, a little salt, and pepper, then stir-fry until the greens begin to wilt.


Pour in about 1/4 cup water and cook until the liquid comes to a boil and the greens are just tender. Stir in the goji berries, cook for another 30 seconds, and serve hot.

Use bok choy, choy sum, spinach, or Chinese kale for the greens. Do not overcook the vegetables or they will lose their color and texture. If you soak the mushrooms in warm water, you can strain and use a little of the soaking liquid instead of plain water for extra flavor.
