Tips:

  • If you're using a Japanese eggplant, there's no need to peel it. However, if you're using a larger, globe eggplant, you may want to peel it before slicing it.
  • To make sure the eggplant is evenly cooked, slice it into uniform pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the eggplant. If you do, it will steam instead of sautéing and won't get as crispy.
  • Use a high-quality miso paste. It will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • If you don't have mirin, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
  • Serve the eggplant warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious chilled.

Conclusion:

This vegan sesame miso eggplant is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover eggplant. The eggplant is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. Serve it over rice or noodles, or simply enjoy it as a side dish.
