Braised Eggplant ‘Nibitashi’
There are two method for this dish. One is deep frying the eggplant and the other is shallow frying. I definitely prefer shallow frying, but you need fairly good mount of oil even for the shallow frying.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut off the green bit of Eggplants and cut in half or quarter lengthways, then make many shallow cuts on the skin, scoring it. If the pieces are long, cut in half.
* Step 2
Place Dashi Stock, Soy Sauce, Salt, Mirin and Ginger in a bowl and mix well to make the sauce.
* Step 3
Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Eggplants on the skin side down for a couple of minutes. Then cook other sides as well until they are slightly coloured.
* Step 4
Pour over the sauce and add some Chilli, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until soft.
* Step 5
Remove from heat and let cool. The Eggplant should remain in the sauce while cooling.
* Step 6
Sprinkle with some chopped Spring Onion and serve cool or cold.
