- [A] Salt (to taste)

Steps
- Trim the stem from the eggplant (1 medium, approx. 150g) and make cuts about halfway to two-thirds deep, at 5mm intervals.
- Slice the eggplant into 1cm thick rounds at 5mm intervals. It should have a cut in the center.

- Mix the seasonings into the pork.
- Drain the eggplant that was soaked in water.
- Gently tuck the seasoned pork into the cuts of the drained eggplant. (Pro Tip: If the pork pieces are too large, tear them by hand and tuck them in.)
- Arrange the eggplant with the pork tucked inside onto a microwave-safe dish with some depth.
- Drizzle store-bought meat sauce (1/2 packet, approx. 100g) over the top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 6 minutes.
- After heating, sprinkle mixed cheese (40g) evenly over the dish.
- Remove the plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 1 to 1.5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle with dried parsley (to taste) for garnish, and it's done!
