Miso-Sesame Aubergine & Tofu

For those of you who know me well enough are surely aware of my love for an extra silky, rendered down, aubergine. And when it’s paired with tofu, oof. game changer.

A tofu & aubergine dish is low-calorie, low-carb, and contains the ideal amount of protein and fat content, making it a staple in my diet. I prepare this meal in many variations, but this one was inspired by @thefoodietakesflight.

This Miso-Sesame Aubergine is packed with umami and has the perfect balance of sweet and spiciness that left my taste buds craving more. Although @thefoodtakesflight paired her dish with steamed rice, I chose to go with a low-carb, high-protein variation and prepared a miso and sesame glazed and baked tofu, using an organic white miso paste, fresh garlic, ginger, and chili, followed by a dash of organic maple syrup.
