Introduction
Juicy eggplant and refreshing shiso leaves wrapped in thinly sliced pork belly, finished with a sweet and savory special glaze. It stays delicious and juicy even when cold, making it perfect for bento boxes or as an appetizer.
Step 1
Remove the stem of the eggplant and slice into 5mm thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt, rub it in, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Quickly rinse the shiso leaves and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Remove the stems and cut in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, vinegar, sugar, grated ginger, and grated garlic. Mix well until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Step 4
Wipe the moisture released from the salted eggplant thoroughly using a paper towel.
Step 5
Lay the pork slices on a cutting board and sprinkle with pepper. Place one shiso leaf half and one piece of eggplant at the edge, and roll tightly from the edge. Repeat for the remaining pieces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Sprinkling salt on the eggplant removes excess moisture, making it soft and pliable for easy rolling. Do not rinse the salt; simply wipe it off with a paper towel.
⚠️ When rolling the pork, roll it tightly and securely from the edge to ensure the shape holds during cooking.
🔥 Always start cooking with the seam-side down; this prevents the meat from unraveling and ensures a neat finish.
🍳 Pre-mixing the glaze ingredients prevents uneven seasoning when stir-frying.
