うな丼 (Unagi Don)?


So.... Do I manage to trick you? 

This is actually eggplant in Unagi sauce...an idea to trick your kids or whoever hate to eat eggplant? or for vegetarian....

It is actually pretty simple, all you need to do is to roast the eggplant for awhile and then cook them in unagi sauce.

Ingredients:
2 eggplants


Unagi sauce
* 1 tbsp. soy sauce
* 1 tbsp. Mirin 
* 1 tbsp. sugar
* 1 tsp. Sake


1 bowl of rice

a pinch of pepper

Directions:
1. Make a few holes in the eggplants so that they won't explode. Make an incision around the stem end.
2. Place them directly on a stove on a baking rack if you have (or in a frying pan, grill, oven, or toaster oven), then roast until the skins get wrinkly and tender inside. 
3. Cool until you can handle them, then remove the skins. Make an incision lengthwise and open.
4. Heat the unagi sauce in a frying pan until it begins to bubble. Place the eggplants and cook until the liquid is gone. Try to coat each side of the eggplants with the sauce while cooking them and ensure its not burnt. 
5. Serve on top of steamed rice.


Optional: You can add Don Scrambled Egg on top of steamed rice followed by eggplants in unagi sauce
