Ginger-Scallion Cod Stir-Fry with Bok Choy & Mushrooms

A quick stir-fry that leans Cantonese in spirit: flaky cod, silky bok choy, earthy mushrooms, and a glossy ginger-scallion sauce, all spooned over steamed rice if you have it. It’s clean, aromatic, and totally different from the heavier fish and pasta dinners you’ve had lately.

Instructions

  1. Prep 1 package 365 by Whole Foods Market Cod Fillets, 10.5 oz ($9.99) by cutting into 2-inch pieces and patting dry. Slice 1 bunch Organic Bok Choy ($2.99), keeping stems and leaves separated. Slice 1 package Organic White Mushrooms, 8 oz ($3.49). Thinly slice 1 small Organic Yellow Onion ($2.99). Slice 4 Organic Green Onions from 1 bunch ($1.43), separating whites and greens. Juice 1 Lime ($0.59). Mince 2 garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons ginger from pantry.
  2. If serving with rice, start 1 cup cooked rice from pantry now so it is ready when the stir-fry is done.
  3. Season the cod pieces from 1 package Cod Fillets, 10.5 oz ($9.99) with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper, then dust lightly with 1 tablespoon cornstarch from pantry.
  4. Whisk together a sauce with 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon lime juice from the 1 Lime ($0.59), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod pieces from the 10.5 oz package ($9.99) and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly golden and just cooked through. Transfer gently to a plate.
  6. Add another 1 tablespoon oil if needed. Stir-fry the sliced small Organic Yellow Onion ($2.99), white parts of the Organic Green Onion bunch ($1.43), and the 8 oz Organic White Mushrooms ($3.49) for 4 minutes. Add the bok choy stems from 1 bunch Organic Bok Choy ($2.99) and cook 2 minutes more.
  7. Add the bok choy leaves from 1 bunch Organic Bok Choy ($2.99), the minced garlic, and remaining ginger. Toss for 1 minute until fragrant and wilted.
  8. Pour in the sauce, simmer until glossy, then return the cod from the 10.5 oz package ($9.99) to the skillet and spoon sauce over it for 30 seconds. Finish with the green parts of the Organic Green Onion bunch ($1.43) and a squeeze of the remaining lime ($0.59). Serve as is or over cooked rice from pantry.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $19-24

Health notes: About 430-560 calories per serving without rice, or 630-760 with rice. Lean protein from cod, lots of potassium and vitamin C from bok choy, and very moderate saturated fat. Use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.

Drink pairing: Choose Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling. Sauvignon Blanc mirrors the green, fresh ginger-scallion flavors, while dry Riesling is fantastic with delicate fish and savory Asian seasonings.
