Miso Sesame Eggplant Pasta

Dice large eggplant into medium size squares, or cut long, skinny eggplant into coins. Add grated ginger and/or chili flakes to your taste.

Ingredients

• 1 onion sliced thinly
• 2 medium or 1 large eggplant
• 1 tablespoon miso
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 1 dash soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• ½ tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)
• 1 package soba or spaghetti noodles

Directions

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and eggplant and stir to coat with oil.
