Prepare the ingredients: Remove the stem of the eggplant and cut it in half. Create several diagonal notches on the surface and divide it into quarters. Grate the ginger.
Make the ponzu sauce: Combine the grated ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Cook eggplant: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Place the eggplant slices in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Flip them over and cook for a few more minutes.
Add the sauce: Reduce the heat, add the sauce, toss gently, and let absorb flavors for a minute.
