Miso Aubergine Recipe

The classic miso aubergine is one of Miso Tasty’s most requested and searched-for recipes. This homemade miso custard topped aubergine is really worth the extra effort and makes for a very rich sweet topping. Make a bit extra and you can glaze fish and chicken or tofu with it too.

The key to really succulent miso aubergine pieces is to roast the aubergine until cooked through BEFORE topping it with this sauce. Think of the miso sauce more as a glaze than as a marinade. This is such a crowd pleaser and easy to make, it will quickly become part of your cooking repertoire. Great with noodles or rice, or simply with a spoon!
