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.

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.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

50 g miso (red or white)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sake
1 egg yolk
2 eggplants
salt, to taste
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon japanese chilli five-spice powder (if you like it hot- this has black sesame, mandarin, chilli, hemp seed & white sesame) (optional)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 green onions (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together miso, sugar, sake, mirin, sake and egg yolk.
  • Wash eggplant and cut lengthways in 1cm thick pieces. Sprinkle with salt and leave ½ hour. Rinse, pat dry then brush with a little veg oil on both sides.
  • Either BBQ, grill or panfry eggplant until soft.
  • Spread one side with miso mix, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Grill for a few minutes until the miso bubbles on top.
  • Serve, garnished with a little julienned spring onion greens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Japanese eggplant is the best choice for this recipe because it has a tender texture and fewer seeds. If you can't find Japanese eggplant, you can use another variety, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Don't overcook the eggplant: The eggplant should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked eggplant will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality miso paste: The miso paste is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality paste. Look for a miso paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, umami flavor.
  • Serve the eggplant immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The eggplant will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This Nobu Eggplant with Miso recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of tender eggplant, savory miso paste, and sweet mirin creates a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
