Preparación
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the eggplants lengthwise and lightly score the flesh in a crisscross pattern without cutting through the skin.
Step 2
Rub the cut sides with sesame oil, place on a baking tray, and roast for 15 minutes, until the flesh begins to soften.
Step 3
Whisk together the miso, mirin or rice vinegar, maple syrup or agave, sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Add warm water as needed to make a thick but brushable glaze.
Step 4
Brush the glaze generously over the eggplant, working it into the scored flesh, and reserve some for serving. Roast for another 20–25 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Broil for the final 1–2 minutes if desired, watching carefully.
Step 5
Gently toss the cilantro, mint, green onions, chili, and peanuts with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and optional lime juice.
Step 6
Spoon jasmine rice onto plates, top with roasted eggplant, drizzle with reserved glaze, and add the herb salad. Finish with extra peanuts, green onions, and chili if desired.
