Halve the eggplants lengthwise and score shallow crosshatch lines on the cut faces.
Mix the white miso, apple juice, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and cook the eggplants cut-side down for 5 minutes.
Flip the eggplants, cover, and soften 5 more minutes.
Spread the miso sauce on the cut faces.
Broil or pan-fry the eggplants 3-4 minutes until the sauce turns glossy.
Serve hot with sesame seeds and spring onion.
💡 Tip: White miso gives a milder result; if you use dark miso, increase the sugar slightly and keep the sauce short so it does not burn.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the miso nasu as a vegetable main with hot rice, optional spring onion, and pickled cucumber.
