Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the stem ends off. They look better if you leave the calyxes on, but I take 'em off! The prickly parts can hurt you, and it's easier to eat the eggplants with the tops off.
- 2
Score the surface of the eggplants lengthwise 4 to 5 times.
- 3
Grill the eggplants until they are charred and pitch black on the surface. (This is important!) They are done if they are completely limp when you press on them with chopsticks!
- 4
I grilled them in our toaster oven on medium heat for 22 minutes. If your grill only cooked one side at a time, turn the eggplants over halfway through.
- 5
Peel the skin slowly starting from the stem end (the top). When you pinch up the skin to start peeling, be sure not to pinch up any of the flesh underneath! This is very important!!
- 6
Even if the skin breaks as you peel it because you're peeling it so thinly, be sure to only pinch up the skin, not the eggplant flesh! Here's a photo of 3 completely peeled eggplants.
- 7
Arrange on serving plates, top with bonito flakes, soy sauce and so on, and enjoy.

Technique for Preparing Delicious Eggplant Technique for Preparing Delicious Eggplant
I know eggplants go well with oil, but when I see how much oil they can absorb, I feel a little anxious...I wondered if there was anything I could do about it, so I came up with this method.With a little extra effort, you can make a healthy stir-fry. This method makes the eggplant less soggy, so you can use less salt. You can kill two birds with one stone!If you squeeze the eggplant too much, it will lose its fluffy texture, so squeeze it lightly. With practice, you'll learn how much to squeeze depending on the recipes you're using it in. This method takes a little extra effort, but it really keeps the eggplant from getting watery, so I highly recommend it. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

How To Easily Peel Boiled Eggs How To Easily Peel Boiled Eggs
I wanted to know why boiled eggs can be peeled easily sometimes and then they're impossible to peel other times. I did some research and this was the result. With this method, I have no more problems peeling boiled eggs! This method works so perfectly that I want to pass it down to my child (who's still a baby, though) and grandchildren (even thoughdon't have any yet) and to future generations!Through my research, I concluded that if the egg whites coagulate as quickly as possible, they separate from the thin inner skin of the egg, making it easy to peel.So starting with cold eggs and cold water doesn't work!!!
