Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Vegetables & Garnishes
- 2 cups bok choy, chopped
- 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Bok Choy: Rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Mix the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the white miso paste and soy sauce. Whisk together until completely combined and smooth.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil, allowing it to warm.
- Sauté Bok Choy: Add the chopped bok choy to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt but remains vibrant green.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture over the bok choy in the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds to begin cooking.
- Scramble: Gently stir the eggs and bok choy together, allowing the eggs to scramble and cook evenly. Continue cooking for about 3-5 minutes until the eggs are just set but still tender.
- Season: Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the scrambled eggs, if desired, to add extra flavor and texture.
- Serve: Plate the miso scrambled eggs with bok choy immediately and enjoy a delicious, savory dish.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste to control saltiness.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and to make scrambling easier.
- Can be served with steamed rice or toast for a fuller meal.
- Green onions and sesame seeds are optional but add a nice crunch and freshness.
