Eggplant enhances its flavor when cooked with oil.
There is a Japanese cooking technique called “age-bitashi” which means “deep-fry and then marinade”.
For this dish instead of deep-frying, I sauteed my eggplant.
This was sauteed (yaki) and then marinated (bitashi), so I call this Yaki-Bitashi.
You can get a similar result because eggplant absorbs a lot of oil even from the sauteeing process.
After being marinated overnight.
The beautiful eggplant was simply served with the clear noodle, tomato slices, and cilantro.
