Sweet Miso goes so well with eggplant. This dish is my husband’s all time favourite. He keeps telling everyone that eggplants in Japanese dishes are so delicious. I asked him how the Australians cook the eggplant. He said ‘just BBQ them!’ Ahhh… When you cook this dish, you need hot steamy rice to serve with it. Some green capsicum can be added to this dish.

Thank you, Barrie, for having tried this recipe. I also cooked it with red miso this time just like you did.
