Instructions
Prepare the Eggplant
Slice the Japanese eggplant in half lengthwise, and then into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Make the Miso Glaze
In a bowl, whisk together white miso, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, crushed garlic, and ginger until smooth.
Sauté the Eggplant
In a skillet, heat sesame oil and olive oil over medium heat. Rinse the eggplant pieces and add them to the skillet, sautéing until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the Glaze
Pour the miso glaze over the sautéed eggplant, stirring to coat evenly. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the eggplant mixture to thicken the sauce.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with black sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve warm.
