Having had delicious miso aubergines in a local japanese restaurant on numerous occasions, I decided to give them a try at home and am pleased to say that they were *almost* as good! I served them with the Spicy Cucumber Salad recipe also on this site and the clean flavours of that worked really well. Will do again and would urge others to give them a try!
