Miso Glazed Eggplant with Bok Choy
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 2 baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger to make the miso glaze.
- Place the eggplant rounds and bok choy halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides of the eggplant and bok choy with the miso glaze, reserving some for later.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and golden brown, and the bok choy is wilted and slightly charred.
- While the vegetables are roasting, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add any remaining miso glaze to the skillet.
- Once the vegetables are done, transfer them to the skillet with the miso glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and coat the vegetables.
- Serve the miso glazed eggplant and bok choy on a platter, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy!
