Ingredients

Eggplants 2 ・・・For grilled eggplant.

<Black Sesame Miso Sauce Seasoning>

Black sesame paste 1 tbsp
White miso 1 tbsp ・・・Mixed miso may also be used.
Honey 1 tsp ・・・Sugar, a little more than 1 tsp, may also be used.
Boiled-down mirin 1/2 tbsp
Soy sauce Add just a little to adjust the flavor.
Water 1 tsp or more ・・・Use as needed to adjust the thickness of the sauce.

<Garnish>

Grated ginger As needed

Method

  1. Make a cut around the stem end of each eggplant and remove the calyx. Prick the surface of the skin with a bamboo skewer. Place the eggplants on a grill rack and grill, turning occasionally, until the entire surface is charred, about 8 minutes over fairly strong direct heat.
  2. Dip briefly in ice water, then remove immediately and peel off the skin. Chill in the refrigerator.
  3. Mix together the black sesame miso sauce seasonings, then adjust the thickness with water.
  4. Tear the grilled eggplant into 5-6cm lengths and arrange in a serving dish. Spoon the black sesame miso sauce over the eggplant and garnish with grated ginger.
