There is a proverb in Japan, which says that daughter-in-laws shouldn't be eat autumn eggplants because they are so delicious. Some say it means eggplants are wasted on them, others say it's because eggplants chill the body, which means it's difficult to get pregnant. I still eat them anyway since they're so delicious. Plus, they're healthy too!

If you want a low-calorie option, you could reduce the amount of sugar or use ground chicken instead of pork. For 2 servings. Recipe by cohare102
