Miso glazed eggplant is the epitome of umami, hitting all your taste buds with sweet, salty, savory, acidic, and pungency all at the same time. So naturally, vegans use miso paste as the main ingredient. Miso is fermented soybean paste available in various forms such as white, yellow, and red miso. The longer it's fermented, the darker the color and the richer it becomes. The glaze contains yellow miso paste for a more mild flavor, sake, mirin, and brown sugar brushed onto Japanese eggplant topped with sesame seeds and scallions. It is caramelized in the oven, creating those irresistible umami flavors you'll want to cover everything in a miso glaze. If you're looking for a showstopping quick and easy vegan side dish, this is the one for you. Quickly turn this into a meal by adding glaze and eggplant to noodles, rice, or topping on a salad.
