Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon milk or unsweetened almond milk
Vegetables & Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chopped bok choy leaves and tender stems
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, white miso paste, and milk until fully combined and smooth, ensuring the miso is well incorporated for an even savory flavor.
- Sauté Aromatics and Bok Choy: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and sesame oil. Once melted and hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the chopped bok choy and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it softens slightly yet remains bright green.
- Cook the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing soft curds to form. Continue cooking slowly, stirring occasionally to prevent overcooking, until the eggs are softly set but still creamy.
- Season the Eggs: Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar to add depth and slight tang. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat immediately to preserve the creamy texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the eggs before serving. Optionally, enjoy this dish on its own or paired with steamed rice or toasted sourdough for a more substantial meal.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the eggs before cooking.
- If bok choy is unavailable, substitute with spinach or kale.
- Serve over steamed rice or alongside toasted sourdough for a complete and satisfying meal.
