Miso-glazed Aubergine (Nasu Dengaku)
Description
This recipe for Miso-glazed Aubergine begins by preparing a glaze blending white miso paste, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and hot water until smooth. The aubergines are sliced in half lengthwise and scored deeply in a diamond pattern to help the glaze penetrate during baking. Using a brush ensures an even coating over the cut surfaces.
Baked face-up on parchment-lined trays at 400ºF for 30 to 40 minutes, the aubergines become tender and infused with the miso glaze. After baking, an additional drizzle of glaze adds more flavor, and the dish is finished with toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped spring onions for texture and color contrast.
Miso-glazed Aubergine offers a combination of tender flesh and glossy, slightly caramelized topping with savory, sweet, and tangy notes. It can serve as a flavorful side dish or vegetarian main component in a meal.
Ingredients
- 2 aubergine medium-large
- 2 tablespoon white miso
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon water hot
Garnish
- 1 spring onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC / 400ºF
- Using a medium-size mixing bowl add the miso paste, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and hot water. Mix all the ingredients until they are well combined.
- To prepare the aubergines, cut them in halves lengthwise. Score the inside of the aubergine in squares making diagonal cuts. The cuts need to be deep but keeping the skin untouched.
- Using a brush, marinate the aubergine with the miso glaze. Make sure enough sauce is used on each aubergine.
- Place some baking paper on a baking tray, lay the marinated aubergines (facing up) and bake for around 30-40 minutes.
- When the aubergines are cooked, take them out of the oven and drizzle some extra miso mixture on the top, add finely chopped onions and sprinkle some sesame seeds.
