- Green onions
- 2, sliced
- Cucumber
- 1, julienned
- Carrot
- 1, julienned
- Lettuce leaves
- 4
- Ginger

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
- Place the eggplant slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each slice is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated eggplant slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove the eggplant slices from the pan and set them aside to cool slightly.
- To assemble the wraps, lay out the tortilla wraps and place a lettuce leaf on each one.
- Top each lettuce leaf with the grilled eggplant slices, julienned carrot, julienned cucumber, and sliced green onions.
- Sprinkle each wrap with sesame seeds and drizzle with additional miso dressing if desired.
- Roll up the wraps tightly. You can secure them with toothpicks if needed.
- Serve the Miso Eggplant Wraps immediately. They make a great appetizer or a light, refreshing meal.
Tips
- For an added crunch, you can also include julienned radishes or bell peppers.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, add a dash of chili flakes to the miso marinade.
- These wraps are best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day. If storing, keep the dressing separate and add just before serving to keep the wraps from getting soggy.
