Cooking tips
- Make sure to score the eggplants densely so that internal moisture can escape and the seasoning penetrates all the way through.
- Always use low heat when frying the seasoning and simmering with vegetables—high heat will cause the soybean paste to burn easily.
- Adding kombu while simmering enhances the umami depth and complements the soft texture of the eggplants beautifully.
Recommended for
- Those who want to try a unique, moist, and tender eggplant dish.
- People looking for a new side dish with a rich, savory soybean paste base that isn't overly salty.
- Fans of spicy shishito peppers combined with the savory umami of kombu.
