Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 1/2 pounds moro miso (red barley miso)
2 Japanese eggplants (12 inches each), trimmed
Grapeseed oil, for frying
4 limes
2 shiso leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Place olive oil and garlic in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until garlic is evenly browned. Remove from heat and transfer garlic to a large bowl. Add moro miso and whisk until combined; set aside.
  • Cut eggplants on the bias, starting at one end, and alternating the direction of the bias with each cut, forming triangular shapes. Cut each triangular piece in half again.
  • Add enough grapeseed oil to a large skillet to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil over medium-high heat and add eggplant. Fry eggplant until outside is crispy and center is soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Squeeze limes over eggplant and transfer to a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons miso mixture and shiso leaves, keeping any remaining miso mixture in an airtight container, refrigerated up to 3 days. Toss to combine. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggplants turned out mushy and the sauce was too watery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some added spices or herbs.
