Instructions

Step 1: Slice eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt, and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture; pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/2 tsp ginger until smooth.
Step 3: Heat 1 tsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and tender, then transfer to a plate.
Step 4: Add remaining oil to skillet, stir-fry mushrooms, remaining garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the miso sauce and simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
Step 5: Toss in cooked soba noodles and eggplant, coating everything evenly. Cook for 2 more minutes until heated through and sauce clings to noodles.
