1 Garlic clove, grated
1 tbsp rice vinegar

DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse the eggplant under cool running water and pat dry.
2. Peel them and remove the stems.
3. Slice the eggplants into 2 cm rounds or squares.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.

TIPS

Serving the eggplants along with basmati rice is the best but you can also have them as a light starter.

Hello Kris, it's possible that our mode name may have misled you. The Water Bath mode doesn't necessarily require the use of water. Therefore, we have renamed this mode as Manual mode, which means you need to set the time and temperature, unlike the Neovide mode, where you only need to set the temperature. For this sous vide eggplant recipe, you don't need to add water, simply put it in the pot and start. Regarding the use of the Sear function, yes, you need to ensure the pot is dry before adding cooking oil.

Are the eggplant discs going into water? I presume so. And, I assume I would bag them , not necessarily vacuum the bags, and place them so they are not in direct contact with water. Once water bath is at 88C timing begins. After that the water must be emptied out the pan wiped dry before searing. I think these are important details that should be in recipe unless I have got the water sous vide function all wrong. I also have problems with your description of Neovide cooking which I will address in the beef recipe.
