One of our must-order dishes at any Japanese izakaya is grilled eggplant with miso.

Eggplant is a finicky ingredient to work with as it can be tough when undercooked and mushy if overdone. But I love Moringa's rendition of this dish. It was irresistibly tasty and cooked to perfection, striking a delicious harmony between the silky and creamy texture of the grilled eggplant and the sweet savoury umami flavours of the miso!
