Recently, I've noticed recipes using sesame oil, and it seems like everyone is catching on. My family loves this recipe, and even those who dislike eggplant should give it a try!
The story behind this recipe: Since we are farmers and grow eggplants, we have an abundance of them in the summer. We try to serve them in different ways every day. When I ask my daughters what they want to eat, they always say, 'Eggplant miso soup!' It's a popular dish in our home, and many people who dislike eggplant end up finishing it!

Steps

1

Cut the eggplant into bite-sized pieces and place them in a pot.
2

Drizzle sesame oil over the eggplant, trying to coat it evenly.
3

Add water to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the dashi stock powder and fried tofu. Once it boils, add the miso paste.
4

After adding the miso paste, let it simmer for a few minutes. Many people turn off the heat immediately after adding miso, but we like to let it simmer.
5

After all, isn't pork miso soup delicious when simmered in a large pot? The same goes for miso stir-fry; thoroughly cooked miso is delicious!
6

As it simmers, the miso will dissolve on its own, so just give it a quick stir.
7

Finally, top with chopped green onions and it's ready to serve.
