Ingredients

AubergineTwo large, about 600 g
Halved lengthways and the flesh scored in a diamond pattern.
White miso paste2 tbsp (36 g)
Maple syrup2 tsp (14 g)
Tamari1 tbsp (15 g)
Toasted sesame oil2 tsp (8 g)
Rapeseed oil6 g
Cooked white rice250 g
Cooked weight. About 50 g of dry rice becomes 130 g cooked.
Edamame beans, shelled200 g
Shelled weight. In the pod, about half of what you weigh is pod.
Spring onion40 g
Sesame seeds8 g
Fresh gingerA thumb, grated
Rice vinegar1 tbsp

Method

Brush the cut faces with the rapeseed oil and roast the aubergines cut side down at 200°C for 25 minutes until the flesh is soft when pressed.
Stir the miso, maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, ginger and vinegar into a glaze.
Turn the aubergines over, spread the glaze thickly over the scored flesh and grill on high for five to eight minutes until the surface bubbles and darkens in patches.
Serve on the rice with the edamame, warmed in boiling water for two minutes, the sliced spring onion and the sesame seeds.

Worth knowing

The glaze burns fast under the grill. Stay with it, and pull the tray when the miso is brown, not black.
Edamame is where most of the 21 g comes from. Without it the plate is about 10 g, so it is not garnish.
