Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 8 oz soba noodles and cook for 5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking; set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp sesame oil until smooth.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 1 medium eggplant cut into 1-inch cubes and stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until the edges are golden and tender.
Step 5: Pour the miso sauce over the eggplant and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the eggplant.
Step 6: Add the cooked soba noodles and 3 sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss together for 1-2 minutes until noodles are warmed through and evenly coated.
Step 7: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
