1
Prepare the Eggplant
Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and lightly salt them. Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
2
Make the Miso Glaze
In a bowl, combine miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until smooth.
3
Grill the Eggplant
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Rinse the salted eggplants under cold water and pat dry. Place the eggplants cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes.
4
Apply Miso Glaze
Flip the eggplants over and generously brush the miso glaze on the cut sides. Grill for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the eggplants are tender and the glaze is caramelized.
5
Serve
Remove the eggplants from the grill, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
