Charred Bok Choy with Miso and Ginger Dressing

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp of sesame oil, bring to the boil over a high heat. Remember to use a lid as it will boil faster and you’ll save resources.

Step 2

Whilst your water is coming up to the boil, you can make the dressing. Add all your dressing ingredients to a small food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.

Step 3

Taste the dressing and have a really good think about whether it needs to be more salty, more sweet or more tangy. My dressing needed a little salt and a little more vinegar. Trust your taste buds and make it as tasty as possible.

Step 4

Once the water is boiling, add the bok choy for 30 seconds, set a timer. After 30 seconds, drain them and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a frying pan or griddle pan over a high heat and add a small amount of sesame oil or vegetable oil. Once the pan is very hot, add the bok choy and sear until deep brown.

Step 6

Find a nice plate and smear 2 - 3 Tbsp of dressing over the base, arrange the bok choy on top, drizzle with lots of dressing and scatter with toasted sesame seeds.
