Photo: Miso Glazed Grilled Japanese Eggplant Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white miso (also called shiro miso)
- 1/4 cup cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 Japanese eggplants, halved lengthwise
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh mint, for garnish
Directions
Preheat a charcoal grill or kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker for direct grilling over high heat.
Whisk together the miso, mirin, sugar and 2 tablespoons water until combined.
Brush the cut-side of the eggplant with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the eggplant, cut-side down, until lightly golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the eggplant over, brush with some of the glaze and continue grilling for 2 more minutes. Brush with more glaze, flip over and grill until the cut-side is caramelized, about 4 minutes. Remove to a platter, cut-side up, and sprinkle with mint.

This was really good! Used as the main for a meatless dinner. Don't worry if it gets a little too brown, I actually thought that was where the most flavor was. Would like to try with zucchini as well but would have to me mindful of the thinner skin. Grilled over charcoal as well. I am sure that helped. Served with a quinoa salad.

Grilled on a BGE and they turned out superb. Melted like butter in my mouth.

This recipe is easy to make and tasty. It helped that I had all the ingredients at home including the white miso. I grilled the eggplants under the broiler and it worked just fine.
