Recipe

Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and place directly into a dry frying pan.
Stir-fry over high heat, like deep-frying, until about 80% crispy, allowing the pork's own fat to render.
While the pork cooks, wash the eggplant, remove the stems, and slice it lengthwise into half-moon shapes.
Once the pork surface is brown and fully cooked, lightly sprinkle with black pepper to remove any gamey smell.
Add all the sliced eggplant to the pan with the browned pork and stir-fry together, allowing the eggplant to absorb the pork fat.
When the underside of the eggplant starts to turn golden and absorb some oil, pour in the prepared miso sauce.
Store-bought sauce can burn easily when heated, so turn off the heat immediately after adding the sauce or reduce to low heat.
Using the residual heat in the pan, toss well to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed over the pork and eggplant.
Transfer the finished dish to a plate, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve.

Crisp up pork in a dry pan, then season with pepper.
Add sliced eggplant and stir-fry with pork fat until golden.
Pour in miso sauce, turn off heat, quickly toss with residual heat, and serve.

Cooking tips

Use a fatty cut of pork like belly to maximize savory flavor without needing extra cooking oil.
Eggplant can become mushy and lose flavor and texture if overcooked; stir-fry just until wilted and let residual heat finish cooking for a tender result.
Cooking over high heat after adding miso sauce can cause it to burn easily, so mixing with residual heat is safer.

Those who want to reduce cooking time and enhance flavor using store-bought sauce.
Those who want to enjoy an eggplant dish with a soft, tender texture, not mushy.
