Categories     quick, weekday, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium or 1 large eggplant 11/2 to 2 pounds, cut into 1/2-inch slices
3 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn, or more as needed
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt
black pepper
1/2 cup miso
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup hot water

Steps:

  • If time allows, sprinkle the eggplant liberally with salt, put it in a colander in the sink and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes; rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat and put the rack about 4 inches from the flame.
  • Combine the neutral and sesame oils and brush the eggplant on both sides with the oil mixture. Sprinkle with salt (if you salted the eggplant, hold off) and pepper, then brush with more oil. Grill until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total, turning once or twice and brushing with more oil if it looks dry.
  • When the eggplant is almost done, whisk together the miso, honey and hot water and generously brush the eggplant with this mixture. Continue to grill for another minute or two, then serve hot, warm or at room temperature, drizzled with any remaining miso sauce.

MISO-GLAZED EGGPLANT



Miso-Glazed Eggplant image

Miso-glazed eggplant (Nasu dengaku) is on many Japanese menus, and it's a dish I always order. It's incredibly easy to make at home. I roast the eggplant first, then brush it with the glaze and run it under the broiler. The trick is getting the timing right so the glaze caramelizes but doesn't burn. That's a guessing game in my old Wedgewood oven, because the broiler door has no window.

Categories     easy, appetizer, side dish

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4 as an appetizer or side dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 long Japanese eggplants or 4 small Italian eggplants (about 3/4 pound)
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil, plus additional for the baking sheet
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sake
2 tablespoons white or yellow miso
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and cut off the stem and calyx. Using the tip of a paring knife, cut an incision down the middle of each half, making sure not to cut through the skin, but cutting down to it. Salt the eggplant lightly and let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and brush with sesame oil.
  • Blot the eggplants with paper towels and place, cut side down, on the baking sheets. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the skin is beginning to shrivel and the flesh is soft. Remove from the oven, carefully turn the eggplants over, and preheat the broiler.
  • To make the glaze, combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium-low heat without letting the mixture boil, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil.
  • Brush the eggplants with the miso glaze, using up all of the glaze. Place under the broiler, about 2 inches from the heat, and broil for about 1 minute, until the glaze begins to bubble and looks shiny. Remove from the heat. Allow to cool if desired or serve hot. To serve, cut the eggplant halves on the diagonal into 1- to 1-1/2-inch slices.

A streamlined take on nasu dengaku, broiled eggplant is brushed with a miso-soy glaze producing a simple yet satisfying side dish. With just four ingredients, the quality of the eggplant is important in this recipe. Seek out the freshest eggplants that are thin with slightly firm flesh and smooth and shiny skin. Older eggplants tend to be bitter.

Tips:

  • To ensure perfectly cooked eggplant slices, choose eggplants that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants with brown spots or wrinkles.
  • Slice the eggplants evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Consistent thickness allows for even cooking and prevents some pieces from remaining undercooked while others become overcooked.
  • Salting the eggplant slices draws out excess moisture, reducing bitterness and preventing the slices from absorbing too much oil during cooking.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to prevent the eggplant slices from sticking. If needed, brush the pan with a little oil to further prevent sticking.
  • Cook the eggplant slices over medium heat to allow them to cook through without burning. Be patient and avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper cooking.
  • Flip the eggplant slices carefully to prevent them from breaking. Use a spatula to gently loosen the slices from the pan before flipping.
  • While cooking the eggplant slices, prepare the miso glaze by combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
  • Once the eggplant slices are cooked through, brush them generously with the prepared miso glaze. The glaze adds a delicious umami flavor and a beautiful glaze to the eggplant slices.
  • Serve the miso-glazed eggplant slices immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Miso-glazed eggplant slices are an incredibly versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a main course. The combination of tender eggplant, savory miso glaze, and fresh garnishes creates a symphony of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds.
