Ingredients
- 100 ml dashi stock use shiitake and kombu dashi for plant-based diets
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- ¼ tsp sugar
- 1 dried red chili pepper deseeded and thinly sliced
- 2 eggplants medium size
- 6 shishito peppers optional
- cooking oil for deep frying
- 1 tbsp grated daikon radish
- finely chopped green onions optional garnish
Instructions
- Add 100 ml dashi stock, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, ¼ tsp sugar, and 1 dried red chili pepper to a small saucepan. Place on the stove on medium heat and bring it to a boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat and leave to cool.
- Wash 2 eggplants and cut off the stems. Cut in half lengthways and make shallow, diagonal slices across the skin side. (Each incision should be about ½ cm apart.)
- If you have small eggplants, cut them in half horizontally. If you have longer eggplants, cut them into thirds or quarters.
- Heat your oil to 170 °C (338 °F) and add the eggplant with the skin side facing down, fry for 1 min on each side. Fry 6 shishito peppers for 1 minute.
- Remove the eggplant and shishito peppers from the oil and transfer to colander. Place the colander either in the sink or in a large heat proof bowl and pour boiling water over it to wash off the excess oil.
- Transfer the eggplant and shishito peppers to the agebitashi broth and leave to cool. Once cool, chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Dish up and serve with 1 tbsp grated daikon radish and finely chopped green onions.
- Enjoy!
