Baked aubergine with sweet miso
Ingredients:
1 aubergine (if possible from Kaga)
1 tablespoon miso
1 tablespoon of sake
1 tablespoon mirin
2 teaspoons sugar
Cut the aubergine into three-centimetre-thick slices and fry them in neutral oil on a pan. It should be cooked through over medium heat and both sides should be golden brown. Mix the other ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, remove from the heat and pour over the aubergine. Finally add a little chopped leek and sesame seeds.
