Maple bourbon Matcha Smoothie

Method

1. Start by prepping your ice, banana, milk so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the matcha and let it sheet-pan, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the banana and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
