This is one of the series of "I can eat many bowls of rice with this!"
Meat miso has been pretty popular but since I don't eat meat, this is MY favorite recipe! It's 105 kcal per serving but if you don't use oil for frying it will be 50 kcal!

The texture of mushrooms is similar to the meat, and eggplant becomes like fat in meat when it's fried and absorbs oil (so they say). But both are just "replacements" .
It's also delicious when you use this as a meat for mapo tofu, put it on cucumber as shown on the photo or on top of tofu as well! Just try them. Recipe by Yukoai_yukoi
