  • Thinly Sliced Pork 200g

Seasonings

  • [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [B] Salt 1 tsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Vinegar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sesame Oil 0.5 tbsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp
  • [A] Toasted Sesame Seeds 2 tsp
  • [A] Ground Sesame Seeds 2 tsp

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine Soy Sauce 1.5 tbsp, Vinegar 1 tbsp, Sugar 1 tbsp, Sesame Oil 0.5 tbsp, Grated Ginger 1 tsp, Toasted Sesame Seeds 2 tsp, and Ground Sesame Seeds 2 tsp. Mix well to create the sauce.
  2. Trim the tough ends off the Eggplant 2 (approx. 250g) and peel them with a vegetable peeler.
  3. Lightly coat the surface of the eggplants with vegetable oil and wrap them in plastic wrap.
  4. Place the plastic-wrapped eggplants on a microwave-safe dish and heat in a 600W microwave for 3 minutes.
  5. After heating, remove from the microwave and let it cool down in the wrap.
  6. In a pot, add 1L of boiling water, Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, and Salt 1 tsp, then reduce to low heat. This is the key! Adding sake and salt removes any porky smell and seasons the meat for a delicious result.
  7. Spread out the Thinly Sliced Pork 200g and cook in batches until the red color disappears.
  8. Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot using a colander, drain the water, and let it cool down.
  9. Allow the cooled pork to chill completely.
  10. Unwrap the cooled eggplants and tear them into bite-sized pieces by hand.
  11. Arrange the torn eggplants and chilled pork on a serving plate.
  12. Mix the prepared sauce well and pour it over the eggplant and pork.
