Eggplant is a deliciously versatile vegetable and can be prepared in countless ways. From ratatouille to Sichuan style eggplant ️,  eggplant is a wonderful addition. Luckily so, because it is a very healty vegetable.

This recipe has Japanese influences and combines eggplant with miso. Not only does this make it very tasty, but miso fits very well into a responsible diet.

Because this dish comes together very quickly, it is nice to serve as a side dish alongside a bigger meal. But it's also perfect served on its own on a bowl of rice

Want to cut eggplant in a different way? Then try the rangiri slicing technique. This cutting technique allows you to cut the eggplant into even pieces. Because the pieces have more cutting surfaces, they absorb even more flavor
