Miso eggplant with green beans and onions is a delightful, flavorful dish that combines the umami richness of miso with the hearty texture of eggplant and the crispness of green beans. This recipe is an exciting way to bring a taste of Japanese cuisine to your kitchen with a handful of simple ingredients.
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet with the eggplant. Cook until the onions are translucent and starting to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the green beans and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp of miso, 4.5 tsp of vinegar, and 1.5 tsp of soy sauce. Stir well until the miso is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
- Pour the miso sauce over the vegetables in the skillet.
- Stir well to ensure the eggplant, onions, and green beans are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper. Adjust to taste.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chopped coriander leaves over the top.
- Give everything one last gentle stir.
- Serve hot as a main dish or a side dish, paired with rice or noodles if desired.
Tips:
- Cut the eggplant into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Blanch the green beans for a few minutes in boiling water before adding them to the pan to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Adjust the amount of miso to taste; if you like it saltier, add a little more.
- Use a high-quality miso paste for the best flavor.
- Toast the sesame seeds briefly in a pan to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Combine different types of miso (white, yellow, or red) to create a more complex flavor profile.
- Serve this dish over steamed rice or with a side of noodles for a more filling meal.
Enjoy this savory yet light dish as a main course or a side. Miso eggplant with green beans and onions offers a perfect blend of flavors and textures, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
