Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cut off the stems and tops of the eggplants and cut them in halves (if Japanese-sized) or cut them crosswise in 1.5 cm thick slices (if American-sized).
  2. Score skin if extra big pieces. Heat oil in pan and sauté eggplants on both sides until browned and soft.
  3. Arrange them with skin side down on a platter. You may have to do this in batches if all the eggplant won't fit in your frying pan at once. Let cool.
  4. Toast and grind the sesame seeds to a smooth texture. Add the miso, sugar and mirin. Stir. Spread the mixture evenly over each of the eggplant parts.
  5. The recipe says serve at room temperature however I put back under a griller for a few minutes to heat and caramelize.
  6. * Sweet miso is light yellow in color and the labels on the containers usually have a yellow bit.
