This Miso-Glazed Eggplant is a take on the traditional Japanese Nasu Dengaku, but with a few of my favorite Indonesian ingredients added in the mix. I combine two sauces, kecap manis and sambal oelek, to create a sticky, sweet and spicy miso glaze and then double-cook this eggplant into soft, tear-apart, eggplant heaven.
