4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Arrowroot powder OR- cornstarch
½ cup Water
¼ cup Barley miso
½ cup Mirin
¼ cup Plum sauce
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
4 Atsu age cakes
12 smalls Japanese eggplants
8 Whole shiitake mushrooms (fresh, not dried)
1 bunch Whole green onions

Directions

In a small saucepan, whisk together arrowroot and water. Heat and add miso, mirin, plum sauce and brown sugar. Stir and continue cooking until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Slice each eggplant in half lengthwise and trim ends from green onions. Wipe shiitake mushrooms with a damp towel to remove dirt.

Set aside.

Brush grill with oil to prevent sticking. Cook tofu over medium-hot coals 7 to 8 minutes each side until edges start to crisp. While tofu grills, place whole green onions, shiitake mushrooms and eggplant (cut-side down) on grill and cook 5 minutes. Turn and baste with miso sauce. Continue cooking 5 to 8 minutes until eggplant can be pierced easily with a fork. Serve with extra sauce.
