Eggplant

- Start making miso sauce marinade (see below)
- Slice the eggplant in half, lengthways, then score the flesh in a diagonal pattern, taking care not to slice through the skin
- Brush all over with sesame oil and cook, skin-side down, in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms flatten and the incisions begin to open.
- Turn over and cook cut-side down for around 2 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer to prepared tray.
- Spoon miso sauce over the cut sides of the eggplant until it runs into the incisions
- The leftover marinade can be refrigerated
