Japanese Eggplant Dishes

Eggplant (nasu) is the king of summer vegetables in Japan and is often cooked during the summer. Japanese eggplants are smaller than American eggplants, and the skins are thinner. It can be grilled, steamed, simmered, fried, pickled, and so on. Tempura eggplant is a popular dish. It's good to add fried eggplant slices in vegetable curry too

Eggplants absorb oil quickly, so it's necessary to use extra oil when frying them. Also, it's important to soak eggplants in salted water before cooking to prevent them from turning brown.
