directions

  • cut the eggplant into bitesize pieces and place in colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 30 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water.
  • Remove the seeds from the chilies and chop into rings.
  • Mix the sake, mirin, sugar, and shoyu in a small bowl. (I tend to replace the sugar with stevia but stevia turns bitter when heated. If using stevia, make sure the heat is quite low before adding the mix to the wok.)
  • Mix the red miso (dark red aka miso or hatcho miso is recommended) with 3 T water to make a paste.
  • Heat the oil in wok on high and add the chili. When the oil starts to smoke, add the eggplant. Stir fry for bout 8 minutes or until tender. Lower the heat to medium.
  • Add the sake mixture to the pan and stir for 2-3 minutes. Lower the heat if the sauce starts to burn. Add the miso paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I love studying history! Most of the cookbooks I am collecting are half history book, half cookbook. <br /> <br />One of the best cookbooks I have ever read is Jewish Holiday Baking by Marcy Goldman. I like anything by Mollie Katzen, too. <br /> <br />I am trying to get better at making soups. I am also making forays into Russian cooking. <br /> <br />I am on a low carbohydrate diet for various and sundry health reasons. It's a lot of fun tweaking recipes to be low carb enough for me to enjoy. I've become a much better cook because of it. <br /> <br />I love sewing, embroidery, cooking, baking, and dancing. I just got a full time job again so I am relearning how to fit my cooking in around a strict schedule. The crock pot is once again my best friend.</p> <p><a href=http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=360098 target=_blank><br /></a></p>
