Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
4 Japanese eggplants (about 6 ounces each), halved lengthwise and skin scored in a crosshatch pattern
1 cup Nobu's Den Miso
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Pickled ginger and plums, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil to 360 degrees. Working in batches, place eggplants in pan, skin side up, and fry 1 minute. Turn and fry 30 seconds more. Transfer eggplants to baking sheet and let drain.
  • Transfer eggplants, skin side down, to an unlined baking sheet. Spread each half with slightly more than 1 tablespoon miso. Broil until miso begins to darken and caramelize, about 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the strength of your broiler. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with pickled ginger and plums.

The eggplant was a bit undercooked for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try it again with less oil next time.

I wasn't a big fan of the miso marinade. It was a bit too salty for my taste. However, the eggplant was cooked perfectly and the overall dish was still enjoyable.
