Gingered bok choy and tomatoes

Approx. 100 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 2 servings.

It's Friday night and the fridge is pretty empty, since tomorrow is farmer's market day. I had bok choy leaves left over from the meal I made the other night, along with a few cherry tomatoes and some mushrooms. I decided that these would be good combined in a gingered soy sauce "stir fry". As it was cooking, it seemed to be lacking something, so I added a few toasted sesame seeds. They gave it a bit more texture and really enhanced the flavor.

This makes a great side dish. I didn't feel like making anything else, so I ate both servings as my full meal.
