Instructions
1. | Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and cut off the skin side to make a flat piece approximately 1-2cm thick. |
2. | Heat the canola oil to 180°C, and deep fry the eggplant for around 3 minutes. |
3. | Wrap in paper towels to drain off the oil. |
4. | Put all the miso paste ingredients into a saucepan, whisking over a low heat. |

6. | Spread the miso paste onto the deep-fried eggplant and put into the oven (or grill it) for around 5 minutes until nicely charred. |
