Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionCut the leaves away from the bok choy stalks.
Halve the stalks lengthwise.
Rinse the leaves and stalks well, then pat dry to remove any excess water.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter and miso with a fork until well combined.
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill.
Put the bok choy stalks in a large bowl.
Using your hands (or a fork), coat the bok choy with the miso butter.
Arrange the bok choy, cut side down, on the grill grate. (If you have a grill screen, set it on top of the grate before adding the bok choy, to keep the stalks from falling through the gaps.) Close the lid and grill for about 5 minutes, until golden brown on the underside.
Turn the bok choy with tongs, re-cover, and grill for 5 to 6 minutes more, until golden and crisp-tender.
While the stalks are cooking, stack the bok choy leaves and roll them up lengthwise into a cigar shape.
Slice the leaves crosswise into thin shreds.
Make a bed of the shredded leaves on a serving platter.
Drizzle the leaves with the oil and lemon juice, sprinkle with the salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and toss to combine.
Put the grilled bok choy on the dressed salad to wilt the leaves; sprinkle additional pepper over the bok choy.
Serve immediately.
