INSTRUCTIONS
SERVINGS VEGAN Kazuhiro Okochi, executive chef at Sushi-Ko restaurant in Washington, D.C., says that this is one of the restaurant's most popular dishes and one of the simplest to prepare. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush eggplant halves on both sides lightly with peanut oil. Cook until lightly browned and soft, turning once, about 5 minutes on each side. Sauce: In medium bowl, whisk together miso, mirin, sugar and kombu-dashi or vegetable broth. To serve: Place two eggplant halves in four individual serving dishes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons sauce. Serve warm. NOTE: To make Kombu-dashi, soak 1 5-inch piece kombu (dried kelp) in 4 cups water for 1 hour. Place kombu and water in saucepan over low heat. Slowly bring to a boil. Remove kombu and discard. Refrigerate unused portion, coveted, for later use. PER SERVING: 82 CAL.; 3G PROT.; 1G TOTAL FAT (0 SAT. FAT); 16G CARB.; 0 CHOL.; 694mg SOD.; 2G FIBER.
