1
Cut the eggplants in half vertically and score the skin diagonally at 2-3 cm intervals.
2
Peel and grate the garlic.
3
Add the eggplant and vegetable oil into a frying pan and cook over a high heat.
4
When the skin of the eggplant has browned, pour in the dashi stock along with the miso, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, and grated garlic and simmer.
5
Once nearly all of the dashi stock has evapourated, stir-fry the eggplant while simmering to prevent burning.
6
When all of the moisture has gone, stop the heat, and add in some sliced green onion.
7
Mix it all together and it's done.
8
The eggplant tastes far better after it has been cooked for a few hours and the flavours have had a chance to blend.
9
It might not be the nicest colour in the world, but it does make a deliciously rich-tasting side dish.
