I had lots of eggplant, and decided to simply fry it and serve with yakiniku sauce.

There is no need to soak the eggplant beforehand. The potato starch will help the filling stick to the eggplant, and stop the eggplant from soaking up too much oil. I recommend using a mildly sweet yakiniku sauce. Recipe by Ayanami Aya

Slice the eggplant into 5mm thick rounds. Coat lightly with katakuriko (not listed).

If you like, sprinkle with shichimi spice or garnish with Japanese mustard. If you have leftover filling, just fry it up and season with the yakiniku sauce.
