Introduction
A 10-minute eggplant soboro (minced meat and eggplant) rice bowl with melt-in-your-mouth eggplant and savory-sweet minced pork that pairs perfectly with rice. Also includes a recipe for a Chinese-style tofu soup made easily in the microwave, using the leftover egg white from the rice bowl.

Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Cutting the eggplant into small cubes ensures it cooks quickly and incorporates well with the minced meat.
💡 Coating the eggplant with potato starch before stir-frying seals in the moisture and flavor, giving it a melt-in-your-mouth texture that absorbs the sauce well.
💡 When stir-frying the minced pork, avoid moving it around too much; spread it out to let it brown for a more fragrant finish.
💡 To prevent the miso from clumping, mix the sauce ingredients together thoroughly beforehand to ensure even seasoning.
⚠️ Adjust the microwave heating time for the soup by checking how well the egg white has set.
