Ingredients
  

  • 2 lrg eggplants

Miso Marinade

  • 2 tbsp miso paste
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp brown rice syrup
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • Combine all ingredients except the eggplant into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Line a large baking tray, set aside.
  • Divide the eggplant lengthways in half. Using a sharp knife. Score, part way through. Firstly down the middle of the eggplant, then around the outside of the inner flesh, then across ways down the flesh.
  • In a preheated frying pan, dry fry the downside of the eggplant for four minutes, then flip and dry fry again for another four minutes. This shrinks the internal flesh, allowing the miso marinade into the eggplant.
