Instructions
0 Prepare the Eggplant: Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise. Then, make diagonal slits and cut each half in two, so you end up with quarters. 1 Fry the Eggplant: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the eggplant pieces skin-side down and fry until soft on all sides. 2 Make the Soup: While cooking the eggplant, combine soy sauce, mirin, dashi powder, water, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then turn off the heat. 3 Soak the Eggplant: Place the fried eggplant in a container or dish. Pour the warm dashi soup over it and let it soak for about 10 minutes. 4 Serve: Garnish with chopped scallion and enjoy!View original recipe
