Ingredients
- 2 medium-large aubergines
- 2 tablespoon white miso
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon hot water
Garnish
- 1 spring onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
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.
