Recipe Instructions

- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high), making sure to oil the grill first. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles and edamame to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 3 to 4 min., until tender.
- Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Reserve the pot.

- Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; halve lengthwise (quarter if large).
- Mince the garlic.
- In a small bowl, whisk the miso, ponzu, maple syrup and 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Separate into 2 bowls.

- Pat the chicken* dry; season with S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, brushing with ½ the maple-miso sauce, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through.
- Chicken breasts: 6 to 8 min. per side.

- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the bok choy, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 2 to 3 min. per side, until tender.

- In the reserved pot, heat 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the demi-glace, soy sauce and the remaining maple-miso sauce.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- Add the noodles and edamame. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through and coated.

- Divide the noodles between your bowls.
- Top with the chicken and bok choy. Bon appétit!
