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.
  • Rinse eggplant under cold water and dry well, pressing out any excess moisture.
  • 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.

The eggplant was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try using less chili peppers next time.
