Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables. The eggplants I used to eat in Japan is 4 inches long and very small compared to one in the U.S. I have tried to cook with large eggplants before, but it taste a bit different. The smaller one is more juicy and it absorb sauce and oils.
Today, I will introduce Miso Stir Fry. Many of you are familiar with miso soup, but I doubt that you use it for stir fry. It is very rich taste. The eggplants absorb oil from the stir fried pork and miso sauce 🙂 This is the best! You should eat with white rice.
