Miso Glazed Eggplant

I have to thank Uwajimaya (my local asian grocery store) for posting about Miss Mochi's Adventures on their facebook page. It's no secret that I'm trying to learn to cook more Japanese food so I found Miss Mochi's full of recipes I couldn't wait to try.
One of our favorite dishes at Japanese restaurants is the miso glazed eggplant. I've also seen it called broiled eggplant with miso paste. It's absolutely delicious. I attempted to make it once years ago and failed. I hadn't thought about making it again until I saw it on Miss Mochi's blog.
It turned out perfectly. I'm super excited that we can have this at home any time we want.
I followed her recipe exactly and it was easy. I'll be making again and again.
