Slice each eggplant in half lengthwise and trim ends from green

Brush grill with oil to prevent sticking. Cook tofu over medium-hot

grills, place whole green onions, shiitake mushrooms and eggplant
(cut-side down) on grill and cook 5 minutes. Turn and baste with
miso sauce. Continue cooking 5 to 8 minutes until eggplant can be
pierced easily with a fork. Serve with extra sauce.
