Ingredients
- 1 medium aubergine, cut into 2-cm fingers
- 2 Tbsp garlic oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2-cm piece ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 tsp brown miso paste
- 3 Tbsp mirin

Method
- Toss the aubergine in 1 teaspoonful of the garlic oil. Cook in a griddle pan or frying pan over high heat until charred.

Add the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, pepper, and sugar, stir well, and cook for 30 seconds. Add the aubergine and the water. Stir and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the sauce is reduced and the aubergine is soft.
