METHOD
- Warm the oil in a small saucepan on medium heat, induction setting 6, for 1 minute. Add the orange zest to the warm oil and infuse for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan on medium high heat, induction setting 7, for 5 minutes, stirring often. Allow to cool and reserve 1 tablespoon to serve.
- Blend or process the remaining sesame seeds for 1 minute, or until they form a paste. Add the orange juice, vinegar, tamari and mirin, then blend again until combined. Add half of the orange oil and blend.
- Preheat a tepan yaki plate or large frying pan on high heat, induction setting 7, for 5 minutes.
- Place the bok choy onto the preheated tepan yaki plate. Place a heavy weight, like the gourmet oven dish, on top to weigh the bok choy down and cook for 5 minutes.
- Place the blackened bok choy in a bowl and cover for 3 minutes to steam. Add the remaining orange oil to the bok choy and toss to combine.
- Arrange the blackened bok choy onto a warmed serving plate and generously drizzle with the sesame and orange sauce. Sprinkle over the reserved toasted sesame seeds.
