1 cup black forbidden rice
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 small eggplants (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1/4 cup sesame oil
3 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
6 tablespoons mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
4 tablespoons water
3 large cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup garbanzo bean miso

In a bowl, mix tamari, rice vinegar, mirin, water, garlic, and ginger juice. When eggplant is very well cooked, stir in tamari mixture. Cover skillet and cook until liquid is mostly absorbed and eggplant is as smooth as butter, about 20 minutes.

Pour into a small saucepan and heat quickly, then reduce heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes. Add black pepper while heating.
