EGGPLANT WITH MISO (NOBU) image

Categories     Tofu

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
4 Japanese eggplants (about 6 ounces each), halved lengthwise and skin scored in a crosshatch pattern
1 cup Nobu's Den Miso
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Pickled ginger and plums, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Step 1 Heat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil to 360 degrees. Working in batches, place eggplants in pan, skin side up, and fry 1 minute. Turn and fry 30 seconds more. Transfer eggplants to baking sheet and let drain.  Step 2 Transfer eggplants, skin side down, to an unlined baking sheet. Spread each half with slightly more than 1 tablespoon miso. Broil until miso begins to darken and caramelize, about 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the strength of your broiler. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with pickled ginger and plums.

I thought this dish was just okay. I wasn't a big fan of the miso sauce.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggplant didn't turn out tender. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of eggplant. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to miso, so I substituted it with tamari. The dish still turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this recipe changed my mind. The miso sauce is so flavorful that it really elevates the eggplant.

I followed the recipe exactly and the eggplant turned out mushy. I think I would prefer to cook it for less time next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less miso next time.

This dish was an absolute delight! The eggplant was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The miso sauce was rich and savory, with a hint of sweetness. I served it with some steamed rice and it was a perfect meal.
