Report
Quick and easy Eggplant with Sesame Ponzu Sauce is sliced and pan-fried until tender golden brown. The combination of Japanese eggplant, shiso leaves, and the bright citrus-based soy sauce is simply amazing!

Ingredients
- 2 green onions/scallions (finely chopped)
- 5 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba) (cut into chiffonade)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil (for pan-frying)
- 1 Japanese or Chinese eggplant
For the Sauce
- 2 Tbsp ponzu (you can make your own homemade ponzu)

- ¼ tsp kobucha (kombucha) (this is NOT the fermented drink kombucha; Japanese kobucha/konbucha is a kelp tea powder made from kombu seaweed; you can substitute it with salt, but it will lack kobucha‘s umami)

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Finely chop 2 green onions/scallions and cut 5 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba) into a chiffonade.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce: 2 Tbsp ponzu, 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, and ¼ tsp kobucha (kombucha) powder. Set aside.
- In a nonstick frying pan, heat 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil on medium-high heat. While the oil is heating up, cut 1 Japanese or Chinese eggplant into slices ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Before the eggplant starts to change color, immediately start cooking. Pan-fry both sides of the eggplant until golden brown.
- Transfer to a serving plate or individual plates. If you‘d like to serve it cold, keep the sauce and finished eggplants separately in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
- Sprinkle the chopped green onions and shredded shiso leaves on top. Drizzle the sesame ponzu sauce over the eggplant. Serve hot, at room temperature, or chilled.
To Store
- You can keep the dish in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 weeks. Store the sauce and eggplant in separate containers.
