Japanese Eggplant (Aubergine) Saute

Step 1

Combine Soy sauce, mirin, crushed garlic and ginger in a bowl.

Step 2

Slice your eggplant thinly and into small pieces.

Step 3

Toss eggplant in hot pan (I use a spray oil like Pam) with the sauce mixture.

Step 4

Sauté at a medium heat until very tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add a little water to keep the veg moist if necessary.

Step 6

Great as a side dish for fish or chicken.

Step 7

Add diced medium firm tofu or any other protein for a very simple, quick meal.
