There is a Japanese cooking method to bind the ingredients, that are cooked in the sauce or soup, with ‘Tamago’ (Eggs), and it is called ‘Tamago Toji’. This dish is cooked in this method. Meltingly soft Eggplant that is cooked in sweet soy sauce flavoured Dashi stock is absolutely delicious. This is a rice bowl dish. You can’t see the Rice in this photo, but there is freshly cooked Rice underneath.
