Pork & Eggplant Spaghetti with Miso Sauce

If I name our family’s top 3 favourite vegetables, eggplant is definitely one of them. And I need to tell you, eggplant and miso are best friends. This spicy miso sauce is absolutely delicious with the melting eggplant and pork mince, which can be replaced by other meat mince or crumbled tofu. And the mixture is a fabulous sauce for pasta. I am sure you love this dish. *Note: The mixture is of course great with freshly cooked rice or Udon noodles.
