Marinated Fried Eggplant ‘Nambanzuke’
I have shared my recipe for ‘Nanban-zuke’, which is a dish of marinated Fish. It is one of my Top 10 summer dishes. This dish is almost identical to the ‘Nanban-zuke’, but I used Eggplants instead of Fish. Eggplants are deep-fried and they become oily. And that’s why they taste so good after marinated in this sweet and sour sauce.
Ingredient
Food ration :
4 to 6 servings
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Place all the marinade ingredients in a baking dish or similar, and mix well. *Note: As Mirin is alcoholic, you can replace it with Sugar. In that case, you use 3 tablespoons Sugar in total.
* Step 2
Add Onion, Carrot, Garlic and Chilli, and combine.
* Step 3
Cut off the green bit of Eggplants and cut in half or quarters lengthways, then make many shallow cuts on the skin. Then cut into chunky 5 to 6cm pieces.
* Step 4
Deep-frying is the preferred method, but you can cook them in a frying pan with a generous amount Oil. Cook the skin side first. When soft, add to the marinade & vegetable mixture in the bowl, skin side down.
* Step 5
Repeat with the remaining Eggplant pieces.
* Step 6
Turn the Eggplant pieces over, skin side up, combine evenly, and set aside in the fridge for 1 hour.
* Step 7
*Note: You can do the marinating process using a serving bowl, so that you can serve the dish straight away. Otherwise, arrange the mixture on a serving plate or bowl.
