DIRECTIONS

1.    Rinse the eggplant under cool running water and pat dry.

2.    Peel them and remove the stems.

3.    Slice the eggplants into 2 cm rounds or squares.

4.    In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.

5.    Choose the water bath program and cook the eggplants at 88ºC for 60 minutes.

Serve them and garnish with sesame seeds.

TIPS:

Serving the eggplants along with basmati rice is the best but you can also have them as a light starter.
