Sticky Sesame Plant-based Miso Aubergine Recipe
Miso and aubergine might be up there with the best savoury combinations - rustle this up and I can guarantee you’ll love the nutty sweetness this dish brings! 🌱🍆
Like tofu, aubergine absorbs flavour super well so if you create a delicious marinade using a combination of miso, oil, sugar and spices you’ll end up with a flavoursome dinner!
The Blue Dragon soy sauce and Miso Tasty white miso paste from healthpharm.co.uk worked perfectly for this dish! Have a browse for your vegan cooking essentials 🌱
I served my miso aubergine with some long grain rice, roasted butternut squash and fried tender-stem broccoli - but feel free to get creative with your pairings 👏🏼
Recipe (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 2 Aubergines - cut into approx 2cm cubes
- 2tbsp olive oil
- 3tbsp white miso
- 2tbsp soy sauce
- 1tbsp brown sugar
- 1tbsp sake or white wine
- Tsp garlic salt
- Tsp dried coriander
- Tsp black pepper
- Vegan butter
To serve:
- 2 spring onions
- 1 butternut squash cut into cubes
- Tender-stem broccoli chopped
- Sesame seeds
- Rice
Method:
- Prepare your vegetables - chopping the aubergine and butternut squash into 2cm cubes and broccoli into short strips.
- Toss butternut squash in some olive oil, sprinkle with black pepper and place in oven to roast at 200°c (fan oven) for 40 minutes while you make the miso aubergine.
- Mix together the miso paste, spices, oil, wine, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat a spoonful of olive oil in a large frying-pan or wok and add the aubergine. Fry for 10 minutes until golden / lightly brown. In a separate frying-pan put the broccoli with some oil, garlic and pepper and let this soften while aubergine cooks.
- Remove the aubergine from the heat and stir the miso marinade through, mixing well (save some miso dressing to top) Return to a low heat for approx 10-15 mins and stir with a knob of vegan butter - the aubergine should be soft when done.
- Serve the miso aubergine alongside the broccoli, butternut squash and rice. Drizzle over the extra miso sauce and top with spring onion and sesame seeds.
Enjoy!

Frequently asked questions about becoming Vegan
- Q: Are vegan recipes healthy?
- A: Absolutely! Vegan recipes are centered around plant-based ingredients, which are packed with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. By following a balanced vegan diet, you can enjoy a wide variety of delicious and nutritious meals.
- Q: Can I get enough protein on a vegan diet?
- A: Yes, you can! Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of plant-based sources of protein, such as beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, and more. Incorporating a variety of these protein-rich foods into your vegan recipes will help you meet your protein needs.
- Q: What about calcium and iron?
- A: Vegan diets can provide ample amounts of calcium and iron. Foods like leafy greens, almonds, tahini, fortified plant-based milk, tofu, and lentils are great sources of these essential minerals. Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources, like citrus fruits or bell peppers, can enhance iron absorption.
- Q: Are vegan recipes expensive?
- A: Not necessarily! While some specialty vegan products may be pricier, a well-planned vegan diet can be quite affordable. Staples like grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables are often budget-friendly, especially when purchased in season or in bulk.
- Q: How can I replace dairy products in vegan recipes?
- A: There are numerous plant-based alternatives available for dairy products. For milk, you can use soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Replace butter with plant-based margarine or coconut oil, and try using cashews or silken tofu for creamy textures in recipes.
- Q: Can I still enjoy desserts on a vegan diet?
- A: Absolutely! Vegan desserts can be just as indulgent and delicious as traditional ones. You can use substitutes like coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew cream in place of dairy cream, and flax eggs or aquafaba as egg replacers. Get creative with ingredients like dates, bananas, cocoa, and nuts to whip up scrumptious vegan treats.
