Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant
  • 2 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger
  • 1 pinch chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp scallions

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Wash the eggplant, pat dry, and slice it into rounds about 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
  3. 3
    Place the slices on a plate and lightly sprinkle both sides with a pinch of salt; let rest for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry.
  4. 4
    In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, rice vinegar, and sugar until smooth.
  5. 5
    Brush a generous layer of the miso glaze onto both sides of each eggplant slice, ensuring even coverage.
  6. 6
    Arrange the glazed slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. 7
    Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the slices, brush any remaining glaze on the exposed side, and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes until the eggplant is tender and the edges are caramelized.
  8. 8
    While the eggplant bakes, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to avoid burning.
  9. 9
    Remove the eggplant from the oven and let it rest on the sheet for 2 minutes.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the hot eggplant, then garnish with chopped scallions.
  11. 11
    Serve immediately while hot, either as a main course or alongside rice or noodles.
