Smoke and char give way to something deeply savoury — eggplant cooked until it collapses, then glossed in a sweet miso sauce that clings to every fold.
Eggplant, roasted until the flesh turns silky.
Sweet miso sauce, brushed on thick and caramelised.
Pickled lotus root, sliced thin for a clean crunch.
The contrast is the point: soft, yielding eggplant against the snap of pickled lotus root, sweet against savoury, with a faint char running through both. It's a hot plate built for sharing, though you may not want to. Contains: soy.
