Ingredients

1 pound eggplant
Salt and cayenne pepper to taste
1/3 cup white or other miso, or to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or to taste
Lemon wedges

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Trim the eggplant and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Boil the eggplant until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool in a colander. (You can refrigerate the eggplant, covered, for several hours before proceeding, but bring it back to room temperature before proceeding.)
Whisk together the miso, soy sauce and mustard in a serving bowl. Add the eggplant along with salt and cayenne to taste, then toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve with the lemon wedges.
