Introduction
A delicious rice bowl that can be made in just 10 minutes in a single frying pan, featuring tender eggplant and savory ground pork tossed in a sweet and salty miso glaze. Topped with a rich egg yolk, this dish is so flavorful you won't be able to put your chopsticks down.
Step 1
Trim the stems from the eggplant and cut into small 1cm cubes (diced).
Step 2
Place the cut eggplant into a plastic bag, add the potato starch (2 tablespoons), seal the bag, and shake well to coat evenly.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the miso (2 teaspoons) and sugar (1 tablespoon) and mix well. Gradually add soy sauce (1 tablespoon), mirin (1 tablespoon), sake (1 tablespoon), and water (3 tablespoons), stirring until the sauce is smooth and lump-free.
Step 4
Heat sesame oil (1 tablespoon) in a frying pan over medium heat, spreading it across the pan.
Step 5
Add the coated eggplant and stir-fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
✨ Coating the eggplant with potato starch locks in moisture and flavor while helping the sauce thicken nicely.
💡 When making the sauce, thoroughly mix the miso and sugar together before adding liquid seasonings to ensure the miso dissolves smoothly without lumps.
⚠️ Add the sauce when the ground pork is about 80% cooked; this prevents the meat from overcooking and keeps it juicy.
