About This Dish:
"Shoga-yaki"; "Shoga" is ginger and "yaki" means grilled or stir fried! Another famous shogayaki dish is "Pork Shogayaki" which goes perfectly with Japanese mayo and rice, but we'll leave that recipe for later :) This dish is the eggplant version of it! The savoury sauce becomes thick, so thick that it makes it a perfect partner to white or brown rice and other vegetables. It's a healthy alternative, but so satisfying that my friends who love meat said they don't need meat for dinner that day! 

This dish is usually eaten for dinner as it is savoury. Serve with warm rice and miso soup! Perfect healthy dinner, not to mention that it is so easy! Ginger has so many health benefits for you, especially in the winter, it can work to warm your body.

What You Need:
(Makes 2-3 servings)
  • 1/2 large eggplant or 2 medium sized eggplants (Around 4 cups sliced)
  • 2 tsp oil of your choice (I used olive oil)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Spring onion as garnish
Sauce
  • 2 - 4 tsp of grated ginger (Depending on how much you like ginger)
  • 3 tbsp Japanese soy sauce (Feel free to add more if you like)
  • 3 tbsp mirin

1. Cut up the eggplant into bite sized pieces and sprinkle the oil and salt, mix in a bowl. This will help the sauce to really mix in when we start to put it in heat.

2. On a LOW heated pan, throw in the eggplant and heat covered for 10 minutes or until it softens.

3. Mix the ginger, soy sauce and mirin in a separate bowl and pour it into the pan with eggplant. Be careful not to burn the sauce! Stir the sauce into the eggplant by swiveling the pan or by using a utensil softly. Once the eggplant is glazed with the sauce, it should be ready!
