Step 1
Cut eggplants in half lengthwise, then score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern without piercing the skin.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Place eggplants flesh-side down in the skillet and sear 2 minutes until lightly golden, then flip skin-side down.
Step 4
Whisk miso, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, and broth together. Pour the mixture around the eggplants.
Step 5
Cover and simmer on medium for 8 minutes until eggplant is fork-tender and liquid reduces by half.
Step 6
Uncover and drizzle with pan sauce. Serve hot with steamed rice if desired.
