Nasu Dengaku

March 3, 2012
Seamstress left both Cindy in addition to I alongside a craving for abode made nasu dengaku. We were inspired past times our successes alongside Ottolenghi's eggplant recipe in addition to decided to combine the basic premise from it alongside a miso sauce from Tammois' recipe mass Gourmet Poverty.

We were biding our time, hoping that eggplants would plow upward inwards our veggie box, but they only wouldn't come. Cindy put a telephone telephone out on twitter, wondering whether organic eggplant was something that existed locally, in addition to out of the bluish The Quince Poacher offered upward or thence her home-grown produce. Score!

The miso eggplant that crowned our repast at  Nasu DengakuLook how beautiful they are! Thanks 1 time again Quince Poacher!

Our version of nasu dengaku turned out actually good - we'll experiment a chip alongside the sauce inwards future, it turned out mayhap a footling chip saltier than nosotros were shooting for in addition to in all likelihood slightly likewise runny (although this was most probable due to our egg in addition to dashi substitutions). But actually it was a wonderful success - miso makes everything delicious. We require to purpose it to a greater extent than often.


Nasu Dengaku
(adapted from Tammois' recipe here)

iv modest eggplants, halved
200g white miso paste
ii tablespoons dry out sherry
ii tablespoons mirin
ii tablespoons caster sugar
1 tablespoon peanut petroleum + 1 teaspoon cornflour (this was our vegan egg yolk substitute!)
1 teaspoon of dulse flakes inwards virtually vi tablespoons boiling H2O (subbing for dashi)
1 large knob of fresh ginger, peeled in addition to grated
to a greater extent than peanut oil
sesame seeds

The showtime footstep is to instruct the eggplant cooking. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Score the eggplant halves alongside or thence diagonal slices, brush them lightly alongside peanut oil, sprinkle alongside common salt in addition to pepper in addition to and then popular them inwards the oven - they'll create for virtually one-half an hour.

While they're baking you lot tin brand the sauce. Get a double boiler going - nosotros only purpose a saucepan on run past times of a slightly smaller saucepan that's total of water.

In the double boiler, combine the miso, sherry, sugar, mirin in addition to the egg yolk substitute. Whisk them together thoroughly in addition to create them gently. Stir inwards the dulse/water mixture in addition to give-up the ghost along it all simmering until the mixture starts to thicken upward a bit. It's supposed to instruct to a custardy texture, but ours ended upward a chip likewise liquidy - mayhap we'll cutting downwards the amount of H2O inwards the dulse mix adjacent time.

Take the mixture off the heat. Pop the grated ginger inwards a land of muslin (or a chux, which was what nosotros used) in addition to squish the juice out into the sauce mixture.

Check on the eggplants - when they're basically cooked in addition to overnice in addition to soft, guide maintain them out of the oven. Slather on equally much of the sauce equally they tin guide maintain in addition to sprinkle on or thence sesame seeds earlier popping them dorsum inwards the oven for or thence other 10 minutes or thence - you lot desire the seeds to start to instruct a chip golden.

Serve soundless you lot similar - nosotros only had ours alongside evidently rice in addition to it was outstanding.
