Heat red miso, sake, mirin, and sugar in a pot over low heat and simmer until thickened.

Add the egg yolk and mix completely, then turn off the heat and the dengaku miso is ready.

Make white miso in the same way.

Cut the eggplant in half and insert a knife in a grid pattern.

Place ❹ side down in salad oil at 170-180 degrees and deep-fry. Fry for about 2 minutes, then when the sides turn golden brown, turn over and fry for about 1 more minute.

Drain the oil well and apply a thick layer of white Dengaku miso on half of the cross section and red Dengaku miso on the other half.

Bake in the oven until the surface of the miso is lightly browned (about 3 minutes).

Garnish with chopped ginger, fried paprika, and boiled green beans and serve.
