These spring onions just had their main character moment. Soft, caramelized, and bathed in a buttery miso broth, they turn into something way fancier than the effort required. Sweet, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth tender — the kind of side dish that accidentally steals the spotlight from the steak.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Heat a pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
Place the spring onions flat side down and let them cook undisturbed until beautifully golden and slightly caramelized.
In a small bowl, mix the bone broth, miso paste, and mirin until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the pan, cover, and let the onions gently simmer until tender and infused with all that umami goodness.
Finish with fresh scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Save the tops of the spring onions for another recipe to reduce waste.
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or grated ginger to the miso broth.
Serve alongside steak, white fish, or enjoy them straight from the pan for a simple yet gourmet treat.
Can I use regular spring onions instead of red spring onions?
Yes, regular spring onions can be used, but red spring onions add a slightly sweeter flavor and a pop of color.
What can I substitute for chicken bone broth?
You can use vegetable broth or water with a dash of soy sauce as a substitute for chicken bone broth.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, substitute chicken bone broth with vegetable broth and ensure the miso paste is vegan-friendly.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
Can I use a different type of miso paste?
