Directions

15 min
  1. 1

    Cut 2 eggplants into bite-sized pieces and place them in a pot.

  2. 2

    Drizzle 2 tbsp of sesame oil evenly over the eggplant.

  3. 3

    Add water and heat over the stove. Add just over 1 tbsp of dashi no moto and 1 large slice of aburaage. Once the soup comes to a boil, add awase miso to taste.

  4. 4

    After adding the miso, let the soup continue to simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    As it simmers, the miso will naturally dissolve into the broth — stir well and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

  6. 6

    Finish by topping with thinly sliced green onion (10 cm). Serve and enjoy!

Tips

Drizzling plenty of sesame oil over the eggplant helps the rich aroma soak right in. If you have a little extra time, try adding pork slices or shimeji mushrooms for an even deeper, more satisfying flavor.
