Spicy Miso Eggplant 🍆❤️ ep.6 of my restaurant series. Technically not a dish I served at any restaurant, but after I made it for an event I seriously had it for dinner daily for about 3 months 😂. I’m nothing if not intense (I take after my dad lol).
0 First, add some salt to the flesh of the eggplant and let sit for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture and bitterness. Then, pat dry.
1 Secondly, mix together the mirin, peanut butter, miso, sesame oil, soy sauce, orange, garlic, ginger and maple syrup.
2 Preheat a pan on high for 2 minutes.
3 Then, brush the eggplant with the olive oil.
4 Sear the eggplant on medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Then, flip.
5 Divide the sauce among the eggplants.
6 Then, bake at 425F for about 20 minutes until golden. Optional broil for 1-2 minutes.
7 Lastly, top with sesame seeds, chives and Fresno peppers.
