If you use eggplant for this recipe, dice them into medium size squares, for cucumbers, slice into coins or half moons.

Ingredients

• 2 parts miso
• 3 parts rice wine vinegar
• 1 part soy sauce
• 1 part toasted sesame oil
• Freshly grated ginger, minced garlic and red chile flakes to taste

Directions

For eggplant: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium
high heat. Add eggplant and stir to coat with oil. Cook for
about 2 minutes then pour sauce over vegetables, reduce heat to
medium low, cover pan and cook until tender. Add water as
