Oven-Roasted Eggplant with Caramelized Miso

Baking eggplant softens and sweetens it into a delicious melty mess with the best texture. Add in a bit of caramelization and you’ve got a dish reminiscent of creme brûlée, only with a sweet and salty miso crust and a creamy eggplant custard.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon mirin

1 tablespoon sake

2 tablespoons shiro miso

2 tablespoons sugar

2 Japanese eggplants, cut in half lengthwise

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

toasted sesame seeds

sliced green onions
