This recipe is for someone like me who loves anything with aglio olio.

I added chopped green onions this time, but they are optional.
Please be sure to soak the eggplants in salted water, even if it's a bother, because this keeps them from absorbing too much oil when you cook them ^^ Recipe by *ai*

Steps

1

Cut the eggplants in half and soak in salted water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will prevent them from soaking up too much oil later.
2

Thinly slice the garlic. Heat the olive oil, garlic and takanotsume in a cold frying pan over low heat.
3

Take the eggplants out of the salted water, and rinse them one at a time in running water. Lightly dry with paper towels and put on a cutting board.
4

When the garlic in Step 2 turns brown, remove it to a paper towel-lined plate.
5

Put the eggplants in the frying pan you used to brown the garlic, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and steam-cook over medium-low heat.
6

Cook the eggplants for awhile and turn them over when they begin to turn brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover and cook some more.
7

After a few minutes, take the lid off and press the eggplants with chopsticks. If they're cooked through, turn off the heat and drizzle with soy sauce.
8

Transfer to a serving plate together with the cooked garlic. Pour on some of the oil left in the frying pan, and it's ready.
