From the Test Kitchen

In this Asian-inspired dish, whole leaves of sautéed bok choy are treated to a savory glaze made from miso paste, a Japanese staple made from fermented soybeans. It’s an irresistible pairing for crispy-skinned fish topped with a flavorful sauce of brown sugar, spicy sambal, and more—all served over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice.

Cook the rice:
1 Cook the rice:

In small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

2 Prepare the ingredients & start the sauce:

While the rice cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root end of the bok choy; separate the leaves. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. In a bowl, combine the sugar, worcestershire sauce, half the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned.
