Looking for a vegan appetizer that's packed with flavor? Look no further than these Miso-Glazed Eggplant Dumplings! This dish is a perfect combination of savory and sweet, with a rich miso glaze that perfectly complements the tender eggplant filling.
To make these dumplings, you'll need:
- 1 large eggplant, diced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 package dumpling wrappers
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the diced eggplant with a bit of oil and roast in the oven until tender and lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes.
While the eggplant is roasting, make the miso glaze by whisking together the soy sauce, miso paste, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
Once the eggplant is done, transfer it to a large bowl and mash it with a fork or potato masher. Add the green onion, cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of the miso glaze, and stir to combine.
To assemble the dumplings, place a small spoonful of the eggplant filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, then fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges together to seal.
In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through.
Serve the dumplings hot, drizzled with the remaining miso glaze and garnished with additional cilantro and green onion.
