Ichiban Mabo Nasu - fried eggplant

Mabo Nasu is a delicious comfort dish in which tender eggplant takes center stage. The eggplant is fried until golden brown and then simmered in a rich sauce made with miso, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, red chili peppers and spring onion.

The result is a perfect balance of savory, mildly sweet and rich umami flavors.
