Grilled Eggplant with Sesame Sauce

I love eggplants. While I was thinking of dishes to prepare with one of my favorite sweet and savory sauces, this was what stuck!If the skin of the eggplant is tough, peel off some strips in a zebra pattern to make it easier to bite into. Once you add the sauce ingredients it will cook down in no time, so make sure to simmer over low heat. Recipe by pappatyan.

Since eggplants and bell peppers were cheap, I fixed them up with ponzu sauce to make a refreshing and delicious dish that may also help combat summer fatigue.Remove from the heat before adding the ponzu sauce.

My mother used to make this for us a lot. It's so light, and I've always loved it.Be sure to squeeze off all the excess moisture from the bean sprouts.

I was able to survive 7 years of making bentos for my children with this mix. Frozen goma-ae (cooked vegetables with sesame sauce) becomes wet by the time it thaws, and the flavors dissipate so it's no good! But making goma-ae for bento every time is a bother and you're likely to have awkward amounts left over. This sesame-sauce base is perfect for families with those kinds of problems.I'd always made this by eyeballing the ingredients, but I tried measuring things out properly this time. And what do you know - the ratio is quite easy to remember. This mixture is on the sweet side, so please use this as a starting point and adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar. It has almost no moisture in it, so if you put it in a container with a hermetically sealed lid or a jar with a a screwtop lid, you can even store it at room temperature.

I love oysters! I also love easy dishes.You can also use this to make liver or meat into a nice drinking snack.If you live in Japan, I recommend using domestic garlic and ginger. Ginger grated by hand tastes better than the tubed type. This method of eating oysters has so much less raw taste/smell than eating them with grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce. Be sure to thoroughly blot off the excess moisture. These oysters are good for you. Give them a try at least once. Recipe by pegupepepe

An alternative for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, it stands proudly alongside pork, chicken, and shrimp. It doesn't lack in flavor... only in cholesterol and perhaps in calories if you watch the olive oil. As for the sauce, make it early to add a refreshing kick to your taste.A few more secretsAvoid salting the other vegetables before grilling to prevent them from losing their juices. Adjust the grilling time depending on whether you have an open grill like in the photo, charcoal - which cooks quickly - or the oven grill. The brave can add 2-3 drops of Tabasco to the sauce, which is already spicy from the garlic. Try them wrapped in thin pita bread.

There are many recipes for Yakiniku dipping sauces around.

This chili pepper miso sauce with vinegar is a variation of the Korean "Chogochujang" sauce, which is often used for sashimi and seasoning for other dishes. I uploaded this recipe because when I combined the leftover sauce with some burdock, it came out really tasty. You can use the sauce with fresh or boiled vegetables, boiled meat (chicken or pork), or sashimi. It's really delicious and very convenient to make a lot so that you have it in stock.The main point is to thoroughly remove all of the water from the burdock after boiling. This recipe uses Korean brand powdered chili pepper, but if you can't get any, you can use ichimi chili pepper powder. But Japanese chili pepper is really spicy, so adjust it to taste. You can also adjust the amount of vinegar and sugar. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei
