Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp.  M1NUTE MISO ORGANIC ORIGINAL (liquid miso)
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. mirin sweet rice wine (optional)
  • ¼ tsp. red chili pepper flakes
  • 3 ea. Japanese eggplants or 2 Chinese eggplants
  • ½ tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 1 ea. green onion (finely sliced)
  • 3 ea. Cilantro stalks (stems discarded and leaves chopped)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler with the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine miso, sugar, mirin, and red chili pepper flakes and mix well. Set aside.
  • Remove the ends of the eggplants. Slice them in half lengthwise from the stem to bottom creating boat-like halves. If you use Chinese eggplants, cut each boat-like half crosswise for a good size.
  • With the tip of a knife score the flesh, about 1/4 inch deep 3-4 times across the eggplants.
  • Place the eggplants flesh side down and broil until the outer skin browns and softens, about 5 minutes. Turn the eggplants flesh side up and brush on the mixture from step 3.
  • Broil the eggplant again until glaze starts to brown and sizzle, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
