Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to packet instructions. Cook the edamame in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Halve the aubergines lengthways and score the flesh in a diamond pattern. Brush with sesame oil and place cut-side down in a hot frying pan for 5 minutes until golden.

  3. 3

    Mix the miso paste, tamari, grated ginger, crushed garlic, and 2 tablespoons of water into a glaze. Flip the aubergines, spoon the glaze over the cut sides, and cook for a further 8 minutes until very tender.

  4. 4

    Divide the rice among bowls. Place a glazed aubergine half on each and scatter the edamame around.

  5. 5

    Finish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
