MISO GLAZED EGGPLANT

If you've never had miso glazed eggplant, well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're totally missing out!  Don't worry though, I'm not just taunting you with photos of these delicious little suckers.  There's a recipe. And you should make them.  I'd serve them with homemade sushi, or as a side with these carrot noodles in peanut sauce.  Hop to it my friends!  And if you can find the small, skinny Japanese eggplants those work even better.  xx- Sarah

Where in the world did you get those plates? And where did you get the gold flatware that you have? I'm sure someone has already asked, but I'm asking again.

Can't wait to make these! A friend of mine just found your site and passed it on immediately knowing I would love it, and I do!

Wondering… what is the make of the dinner plate shown with the baby eggplants? Adore them.

There's a Persian restaurant in SF that serves a dish with eggplant, miso, pomegranate and yogurt. I can definitely attest the combo of miso and eggplant is divine!!
