Just rolling up the meat with eggplant was nothing new, so I tried layering it, and adding chikuwa to increase the volume.

You could use a different cut of pork, if you're worried about the amount of fat in pork belly. Recipe by Mie1016

Steps

1

Partially peel the eggplant in stripes, or peel completely. Cut the chikuwa in 3 equal pieces, then cut in half lengthwise.
2

Cut the eggplant into approximately 5mm diagonal slices. Combine the sauce ingredients, marked ☆, and set aside.
3

Put the eggplant in a heatproof dish, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and microwave until soft. (About 4 minutes in my microwave).
4

Be sure to squeeze any juice that comes out of the eggplant. The rest is easy. Lay the eggplant on the meat, as shown in the photo.
5

Put the chikuwa on top of the eggplant.
6

And roll it up.
7

The rolls should look like this.
8

Time to cook them. First, place the rolls seam-side down, and cook over low heat, turning them frequently, being careful not to let them burn.
9

Pour in the sauce and cook until it's thickened. Turn off the heat, and it's done. Garnish with chopped green onions, to make it look nice!!
