Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon milk or unsweetened dairy-free milk
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 2 cups chopped bok choy stems
- 2 cups chopped bok choy leaves
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Oils and Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or neutral oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, white miso paste, milk, and low-sodium soy sauce until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat sesame oil and butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook Bok Choy Stems: Add the chopped bok choy stems to the skillet and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until they are slightly tender.
- Add Bok Choy Leaves: Stir in the bok choy leaves and cook until just wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes, maintaining their vibrant green color.
- Scramble the Eggs: Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir with a spatula, pulling the eggs from the edges toward the center until softly set but still creamy in texture.
- Season and Finish: Remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking. Season with black pepper and additional salt if needed. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Use white or yellow miso for a milder flavor and smoother texture in the eggs.
- Keep the heat low while cooking the eggs to achieve tender, creamy curds.
- Serve this dish over steamed rice, quinoa, or toasted bread for a filling, complete meal.
