Miso-Glazed Eggplant Buns: A Delicious Vegan Delight
Looking for a vegan dish that's packed with flavor and easy to make? Look no further than these Miso-Glazed Eggplant Buns! This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with a soft and fluffy bun that's filled with tender, juicy eggplant and a rich, umami miso glaze.

To make these buns, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 4 small eggplants, sliced into rounds
- 1/4 cup miso paste
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 8 small buns

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and brush them with vegetable oil. Roast the eggplant for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned.
While the eggplant is roasting, make the miso glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
Once the eggplant is done, remove it from the oven and brush each slice generously with the miso glaze. Return the eggplant to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and bubbly.
To assemble the buns, split each bun in half and fill it with a few slices of eggplant. Drizzle any remaining miso glaze over the top of the eggplant, and serve immediately.
These Miso-Glazed Eggplant Buns are a perfect appetizer or light meal, and they're sure to impress even the most discerning palates. The soft, fluffy buns provide the perfect contrast to the rich, savory eggplant and the sweet, umami miso glaze. Give them a try today and see for yourself why they're quickly becoming a favorite among vegans and non-vegans alike!
