Eggplant becomes overly-greasy when fried, but if you just bake it it feels like it's missing something. I brushed the tops with sesame oil before baking.

The sesame oil adds fragrance and prevents the baking eggplants from becoming overly dry. Recipe by Okakichi

Steps

1

Cut the stem off the eggplant, and make vertical incisions through the skin with a knife at 1 cm intervals. Cut into 4 equal rounds, and rinse in water to reduce the astringency.
2

Mix the dengaku miso ingredients together, and line and oven tray with parchment paper.
3

Thoroughly dry the eggplant, brush the flesh with sesame oil, and transfer to an oven-proof dish. Then brush the skin with sesame oil.
4

Bake in the oven for 8 minutes, briefly remove to coat with the Step 2 miso mix, and return to the oven until golden brown. Scatter with toasted sesame seeds and it's done.
