I still had some eggplants left over after making my previous eggplant recipe ("Mild flavored Eggplant Curry Stir Fry"), so this time around I used them in a side dish rather than a main dish.After microwaving the eggplants, when you shred them up, be careful not to burn yourself! If it's too hot to handle, you can cut them up with a knife instead.If you chill it in the refrigerator after Step 7, it will become even better. For 4 servings. Recipe by KaHoM

I wanted to eat a healthy eggplant dish.Eggplants go well with oil, so they're delicious when deep-fried. But in order to be healthy, I cooked mine in a microwave. Recipe by suzu-ren

Eggplant becomes overly-greasy when fried, but if you just bake it it feels like it's missing something. I brushed the tops with sesame oil before baking.The sesame oil adds fragrance and prevents the baking eggplants from becoming overly dry. Recipe by Okakichi

I tend to receive a lot of eggplants when they're in season! I really like eggplants so I enjoy using it in a lot of dishes and cooking it in many ways. My family really loves the refreshing taste of this namul dish so I end up making it a lot.Flavor the eggplant once it's cooked and has been transferred to a bowl. If you flavor the eggplant while it is in the frying pan, the residual heat could make the eggplant go mushy. It's a bit of extra effort, but please rub the eggplant with salt before stir-frying. This will prevent the eggplant from going soggy and preserve the flavor better. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

I added the eggplants to a small volume of pork so that the dish would become more voluminous. I used miso base which goes well with the eggplant, and made a ginger stir-fry.Use chopsticks when stir-frying the pork by itself. Otherwise, use a spatula so that the eggplants won't break.Lightly dusting the pork with flour is good enough. Recipe by *Anna*

I thought up a side dish for bentos using the leftover eggplant in my refrigerator. For some reason, my grandmother back in my hometown really loves this eggplant dish, so whenever I visit home, I buy a lot of eggplant and make this for her.These also taste delicious if deep-fried and then simmered. They are slightly sweet. If you're not a fan of the sweet taste, you can make them without sugar and then adjust with sugar at the end. This time I only used eggplant, but it also goes well with pork. Recipe by Hotochan mama
