Japanese Country Style Eggplant Nasu No Inaka Ni Recipes

Stewed eggplant doesn't sound exciting to you? Think that eggplant is only for vegetarians? Or just plain have no idea what to do with eggplant other than eggplant pamesean? Well, this delightful and simple Japanese eggplant dish will change your mind--and your palate-about eggplant. No one I have ever served this to has ever said anything but, "Delicious" or "Amazing" or "How on earth did you make this? I love it!" Asian eggplants are more tender and delicately falvored than the standard variety--but you can use either kind with excellent results. Katsuo-bushi--dried bonito flakes--are a common condiment in Japanese cooking. They come in packages of five packets. Next time you are at an Asian grocers, pick up a package. You can use katsuo-bushi in miso soup, and, together with grater gingerroot and soy sauce, as a lovely topping for cold tofu (this is way yummier than it sounds).

I really wanted a fast eggplant dish. I was actually looking for a recipe similar to an eggplant stew, from a restaurant I frequent but came up with this one instead. It is the best eggplant dish I've had, but I'll still keep searching for something like that stewed dish. This one burns very easily so keep an eye on it. I don't recommend going over the times listed, so you may want to set a timer. If you don't go over (especially on the miso broiling step) it should be really tasty. It's not bad even if it is a little burned.
