Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Make sure to score the eggplant finely and deeply so the oil penetrates quickly, making it tender, and the sauce doesn't slide off.
  • When pan-frying, if the oil temperature is too low, the eggplant will absorb excess oil and become soggy. Always heat the pan over high heat and cook quickly for a clean taste.
  • Since the miso sauce contains sugar, it can burn easily. Be careful not to exceed the specified 5-minute cooking time in the oven or air fryer.

Recommended for

  • Those who usually avoid eggplant dishes due to their unique texture or taste.
  • Those looking for a simple, unique side dish using a sweet and savory miso sauce.
  • Those who need a clean, elegant vegetable side dish that can be prepared quickly when drinking alone.
