Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Vegetables & Seasonings
- 2 cups bok choy, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Bok Choy: Rinse the bok choy thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Chop the leaves and stems into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Mix the Egg Base: Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the white miso paste and soy sauce. Whisk together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Allow the oil to heat up until shimmering but not smoking.
- Sauté the Bok Choy: Add the chopped bok choy to the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and wilt.
- Add the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bok choy in the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds to start setting at the bottom.
- Scramble the Eggs: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs and bok choy together, folding the eggs as they cook to form soft, fluffy curds. Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes until the eggs are just set but still moist.
- Season: Taste your scrambled eggs and add salt and pepper as desired to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and texture if using.
- Serve: Transfer the miso scrambled eggs and bok choy to serving plates and enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use white miso paste for a milder, sweeter flavor; red miso will give a stronger taste.
- Do not overcook the eggs; they should remain soft and creamy.
- Optional garnishes like chopped green onions and sesame seeds add texture and visual appeal.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and salt depending on your taste preference and the saltiness of your miso paste.
- Serve this dish on its own or with steamed rice for a more filling meal.
