Grilled Miso Eggplant with Yuzu Yogurt, Mint, and Sesame Seeds
This recipe is brought to you by our friends from Stella Artois. Courtesy of chef Theo Friedman, this grilled eggplant recipe is simultaneously delicate and robust, with a wonderful melting texture, and bright but savory Asian flavors. Japanese eggplants, which are longer, narrower, and thinner-skinned than globe eggplants, are simply halved and brushed with a sweet-salty white miso, mirin, rice wine vinegar, and sugar glaze, then grilled until charred and tender.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon white miso paste
- 2 tablespoon mirin
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon Rice wine vinegar

- 1 Cup white Greek yogurt
- 1⁄4 Cup yuzu juice
- 1⁄4 Cup sesame oil
