How to Prepare Miso Glazed Eggplant ‘Scallops’ [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Peel your eggplants and slice into 1 1/2 or 2-inch disks.
  2. Make a criss cross pattern with a sharp knife in the cut sides on the eggplant on both sides. You can see this in the photos. In a medium bowl stir, miso, water, mirin, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, sugar, and sesame oil. Heat to medium-high a skillet big enough to contain the eggplant disks in one layer. Pour in the sauce and swirl. Place you eggplant disks into the pan in one layer and cover with a lid. Allow to cook until the eggplant is just tender but not falling apart. About 6-8 minutes.
  3. Remove lid and and flip the eggplants with a spatula. Cook until you have a good caramel on the bottom and the sauce is mostly evaporated to a rich glaze.
  4. Remove from the heat. Juice your lime into a bowl with the minced garlic and pour over the "scallops."  Serve.
