Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 pounds Asian eggplants (about 4), trimmed, halved lengthwise, and cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger (use a Microplane)
1/8 teaspoon Japanese seven-spice powder (sometimes labeled "shichimi togarashi"), or to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Toss eggplant with 1 teaspoon salt and drain in a colander, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes.

  • Stir together mirin, soy sauce, ginger, and seven-spice powder.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté eggplant until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in mirin mixture and cook, gently stirring and turning frequently, until sauce becomes a glaze and eggplant is browned and tender, about 1 minute.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with chives.

Tips:

  • To ensure the patties hold their shape well, make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the eggplant before cooking.
  • For a crispier patty, coat them in breadcrumbs before pan-frying.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to suit your desired spice level.
  • Serve the patties immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or relish for the best taste and texture.
  • For a healthier version, bake the patties in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
