Recipe Description
Nasu Dengaku, a traditional Japanese dish, is given a delightful vegan twist in this classic recipe. The dish centers around the tender, broiled eggplants that are doused in a sweet and savory miso glaze, offering a melt-in-the-mouth experience. This recipe ensures that the vegan version loses none of the depth or complexity of flavor that the traditional dish is known and loved for. The miso glaze, made from a combination of white miso, mirin, sake, and sugar, creates a caramelized exterior that perfectly complements the soft, creamy texture of the eggplant. Accompanied by a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions, this dish is not only a treat to the taste buds but also a visual delight. The cooking process is straightforward, making it accessible for home cooks of all skill levels. Whether served as a side dish or a main course, this Vegan Nasu Dengaku is sure to impress.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Steps:
- Preheat your broiler.
- Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, then score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern.
- Brush the cut surfaces of the eggplant with sesame oil and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
- Broil the eggplants until they start to soften, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the eggplants are broiling, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, sake, and sugar in a small bowl.
- Return the eggplants to the broiler and broil until the miso glaze is bubbling and starting to caramelize, about 3-5 minutes.
- Garnish the cooked eggplants with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
