Hi everyone, today, I will share a quick and easy cooking recipe. It uses the basic ingredient of unagi, or eel-shaped eggplant, which is commonly found in Japanese restaurants. This can be a good alternative if you are not good at cooking eel, as it is quite difficult to remove the fishy smell. Eggplant can be the solution.
Serving : 4 persons
Steps | Time |
|---|---|
Preparation | 5 minutes |
Cooking time | 25 minutes |
Total | 30 minutes |
Ingredients:
- 2 eggplants
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Margarine
- Oyster Sauce ( optional )
- Sesame seeds
If you want more spicy, add chili powder.
Steps:
Wash the eggplant thoroughly.
Cut the eggplant into pieces. This time, because the eggplant is bigger, I cut it into three pieces.
Wrinkle the eggplant to give it a shape like unagi, which makes it easier to absorb the seasoning.
Steam the eggplant unagi for 8-10 minutes.
Once cooked, set it aside.
Make the sauce:
Mix all the sauce ingredients : the sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, pepper powder, garlic powder, and margarine to make the spread.
Next, heat the pan with margarine.
Sauté the eggplant unagi in the skillet until browned and caramelized, applying the sauce as you turn it over.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Put the eggplant unagi to a plate.
- The unagi eggplant is ready to be served with warm rice and a sprinkle of nori or seaweed.
Yummy yummy 🤤😋
