  1. I usually have miso in my refrigerator at all times. Love the stuff and I’m in the US. Sake never lasts in my kitchen, so I’ll never get to make this. Lol.
    Just kidding I’m going to try this. I love eggplant.

  2. Kevin, I love miso on so many things… I do prefer light brown miso, but red is still good too. Hakutsuru goes good in food or straight…. LOL! Japanese Shishito peppers are great. I think it would be fine to have red bells, even yellow bells in for color and crispness, and to compliment the Shishito.

  3. Oooh I have most of the ingredients because Kim makes ratatouille for me to take to work. I have it everyday due to attempts to stay relatively healthy. We was discussing about alternatives and this is perfect.

  4. Hi Kev. I like the idea of simple Japanese recipes. I make a lot of Indian, Chinese, Spanish stuff but not idea where to start with Japanese. I've noticed miso is pretty common in England now though so will have to get some. S&B curry blocks seems to have cropped up recently too in the Aldi and Lidl.

  5. from the looks of this you are using a Red Miso? it would be interesting to see an explanation of the different types and their uses. tried eggplant once and it tasted like cigarettes, turned me off of it but i am sure I can use another veg in this.
