miso-glazed-eggplant

Eggplants are very strange vegetables. Yet not a lot of people know how versatile these purple plump nightshades can be. I've seen them thrown in Italian, Indian, Thai, and Mediterranean dishes just to name a few. Eggplants have this special variety because they can absorb flavor. They enhance every dish with their texture and flexible taste. I am very excited about this particular dish because the eggplant absorbed a depth of flavors. A single bite of this dish provides the experience of umami from the miso, sweet from the sugar, nutty from the sesame oil, and sour and tangy from the mirin and rice vinegar. It is a simple dish that can be enjoyed over a bed of rice or by itself with a pair of chopsticks.
