Step 1
Peel and slice the 1 medium lotus root into 1/4 inch rounds. Soak in water with a splash of vinegar to prevent browning, then drain.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 inch sliced ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the lotus root slices and 8 oz mixed mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly golden.
Step 4
Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until lotus root is tender but still crisp.
Step 5
Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and 4 heads baby bok choy. Cook for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and bok choy is wilted.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
