Miso-Glazed Eggplant Dengaku

Deeply savory and meltingly tender, this classic Japanese dish transforms simple vegetables into something extraordinary. You'll sear and roast the eggplant until it practically collapses, then brush it with a rich, umami-packed miso glaze. A final scattering of toasted cashews, sesame seeds, and fresh scallions adds the exact right amount of crunch to balance the soft, creamy center. It's a brilliant vegetarian main or a standout side that pairs beautifully with steamed rice.
