Miso Glazed Japanese Eggplant


 I am happy with this miso glazed Japanese eggplant or nasu dengabu as it is called. It seems the optimum temperature is 500F, it gets the eggplants to a melt in your mouth texture.

After looking at  a bunch of youtube videos this is my version:

1/2 tsp ginger powder
3 tbs mirin
1 tbs sugar
2 tbs miso paste

3-4 japanese eggplants, halved
1 tbs veg oil
2 scallions diced

Glaze
mix miso paste, ginger, mirin, sugar

preheat oven to 500F

Halve and score eggplants in cross hatch pattern on top
rub oil all over eggplants
roast 15 mins skin side down
spread the glaze over top of eggplants
sprinkle diced green onions on top
roast 5 mins longer

  1. An interesting recipe. I've never used eggplant. Is it the same as zucchini?

  5. 500 is a bit too high for me. I would be worried. But, I do like this type of dish.

  10. Many thanks for sharing this recipe.
    Eggplant, or Aubergine as it's also known, is a low carbers favourite :)

    We also like zucchini, or courgettes as they are also known... which reminds me I must get some more this week!

    Have a good week.

    All the best Jan

  11. Hello Christine, I'm back again.

    One of the things I like about blogging is the extra information you can pick-up and learn from.
    Take your post here ...when buying eggplants/aubergines I tend to buy the 'American' type.

    I wanted to know a little more about the Japanese variety, and there is a good article about the various types available here

    Enjoy the rest of your day.
