Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 8 oz dried soba noodles and cook for 5-6 minutes until just tender but still firm. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1 tsp rice vinegar until smooth.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 sliced Japanese eggplants and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until softened and golden brown.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Add the cooked soba noodles and miso sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until noodles are evenly coated and warmed through.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions over the top. Serve immediately.
