While i still figure out how to write my Japan trip post and sorting out the photos, let me share this super easy eggplant recipe for you. Eventhough it is simple recipe but yet it was delicious even my kid who doesn't like eggplant also fought for the last piece..
This is the sweet soy sauce that i use..feel free to use other brands..
I saw this recipe while i flipping through a cookbook in a bookstore the other day, could not recall the book name. The important sauce of this dish is Sweet soy sauce..Ya, my husband also suggested me to add some fried dried shrimps next time..
Latest update on 23 June- one reader informed she tried out this recipe and she also add few drop of vinegar, taste good too.

With just a few ingredients for this dish, but you make it looks so delicious and tempting!
so simple yet so delicious! eggplants are in season here in the uk now, I will have to try this! What does the soaking in salt water do? I've heard of people sprinkling with salt too, is it necessary?

Sonia, it's been awhile that I got a chance to spend reading my favorite blogs. I was getting caught up on many of your posts. Love the visit to Melborne. Can't wait for Japan!
This dish is perfect, so simple, and I love sweet soy sauce. I used it last night for my husband's dinner when he got home late from work. A quick stir fry, and he likes the flavor of the sweet soy sauce too.
Oh so simple yet looks so delicious. I love how it's pan-fried with little oil! I like to bake eggplant then add a gochujang-based glaze over it near the end and turn it to grill =) Have a nice weekend! and Happy Duan Wu Jie!
Sonia this look really nice!
Simple and nice. The sweet soy sauce here is the one used for char kueh tiao?
Back home we have another similar version, thr diff is we dip one side of eggplant in egg before frying.
I like to cook eggplant cos' of its natural sweetness. Does it take long to cook and brown them? Yr hubby's idea definitely makes this vege in demand. You probably see it at the Chuchar outlet soon.
Angel, i have attached a photo of sweet soy sauce i use.
Kimmy, can't really recall, it took about few minutes to brown one side..
Looks scrumptious ^^
Sonia , this dish looks so appetizing ! Will have to try this !
That is my favourite sweet sauce. I can't have eggs without it. haha.... Even better with just white rice. Sounds like a kid, right? haha... I used it in many of my cooking...yeah almost anything. haha....

I love eggplant and every year I love it more and more... This dish looks so complex and then I see the list of ingredients is so short and it doesn't sound very complicated! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

Ya, we love this too, sometime when lazybug hit me, I just throw the whole eggplant into the ricecooker to cook it, and sprinkle some soy sauce with fried dried shrimp or shallots when ready to serve;)
Didnt see this soy sauce brand before.
