Japanese Eggplant Aubergine Saute


A great way to enjoy one sadly overlooked vegetable. The eggplant. Add your favorite protein for a great one dish meal! This is my version of my friend mayumi's recipe. I prefer the long and thin japanese or chinese eggplant. They taste less acidic.

Steps


Combine soy sauce , mirin , crushed garlic and ginger in a bowl.
Slice your eggplant thinly and into small pieces.
Toss eggplant in hot pan with the sauce mixture.
Saut at a medium heat until very tender , about 10 minutes.
Add a little water to keep the veg moist if necessary.
Great as a side dish for fish or chicken.
Add diced medium firm tofu or any other protein for a very simple , quick meal.
