  2. Sauté the onion in olive oil, with the garlic and ginger and cook until translucent. Add the carrots, cook a few minutes and then add the leeks. Let that cook for 5 minutes, then add the shitake mushrooms. When the mushrooms begin to soften, add the Bok Choy, reserved marinade and Sesame Oil to taste. Remove from heat.
