Ohayo minasan, Today’s recipe is called Eggplant Gratin with Miso Sauce. This is a very tasty dish if you like miso taste and eggplant. I love this very much, but due to the bad weather Japan has been having recently our vegetables has been very expensive. So we haven’t been buying many vegetables. Luckily we had some friends that grow their own vegetables and gave us some, a couple days ago. Well, I hope enjoy making and any feedback would be great. Let’s get started with what we need to get going.
