This dish is seasoned with curry powder to make it flavorful and enjoyable even for those who don't usually like fish. It's also budget-friendly and pairs perfectly with rice.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Eggplant 2 pcs (300g)
  • Canned Mackerel 1 can (150g)
  • Mixed Cheese 50g

Seasonings

  • Vegetable Oil 1.5 tbsp
  • Curry Powder 2/3 tsp
  • Mayonnaise (to taste)
  • Dried Parsley (for garnish, to taste)

Steps

  1. Trim the ends off 2 eggplants (300g).
  2. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, then make diagonal scores on the skin side.
  3. Cut the scored eggplants into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3cm wide.
  4. Soak the cut eggplants in water for about 5 minutes to remove bitterness.
  5. Drain the eggplants thoroughly in a colander after soaking.
  6. Add 1.5 tbsp of Vegetable Oil to a frying pan.
  7. Heat the eggplants over medium heat, coating them with oil.
  8. Once coated with oil, place the eggplants skin-side down and cook. (Key Tip!) Cooking them this way seals in the color and makes them look beautiful.
  9. Cook for 2 minutes with the skin side down.
  10. After cooking for 2 minutes, flip the eggplants over.
  11. After flipping, cook for another 1 minute.
  12. Once both sides are lightly browned, add 1 can of Canned Mackerel in miso (150g net weight) with its liquid to the pan.
  13. Break up the mackerel into bite-sized pieces as they are a bit large. (Key Tip!) Halving each piece again, so roughly quartered, is a good size for eating.
  14. Add 2/3 tsp of Curry Powder. (Key Tip!) The combination of canned mackerel in miso and curry powder makes it delicious even for those who don't like mackerel.
  15. Stir-fry until the liquid from the can has evaporated.
  16. Once stir-fried and the liquid has evaporated, transfer the mixture to a heatproof dish like a gratin dish.
  17. Sprinkle 50g of Mixed Cheese over the ingredients in the dish, then drizzle with Mayonnaise.
  18. Bake in a fish grill or toaster until the cheese is browned.
  19. Once browned, sprinkle with Dried Parsley for color and serve. Enjoy!
