Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon white or yellow miso paste
- 1 tablespoon milk or unsweetened almond milk
For Cooking
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
Vegetables & Seasonings
- 2 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- salt to taste, if needed
Instructions
- Whisk egg mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, miso paste, and milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.
- Heat oil and butter: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil and unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and the mixture to warm up.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Cook bok choy: Stir in the chopped baby bok choy. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the greens have wilted and the stems become tender.
- Add soy sauce: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and stir well to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Scramble eggs gently: Reduce heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed briefly to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing from edges toward the center to form soft curds.
- Cook until creamy: Continue stirring gently and slowly cooking the eggs for about 3 to 4 minutes until they become creamy and just set. Avoid overcooking to keep the texture tender.
- Serve with toppings: Immediately remove the skillet from heat to stop cooking. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, freshly ground black pepper, and toasted sesame seeds if using. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, remove the eggs from heat while they still look slightly glossy.
- Spinach or kale can be substituted for bok choy if preferred.
- For added protein, serve the dish over brown rice or alongside smoked salmon.
- Adjust the quantity of miso paste based on your preferred saltiness level.
