This Japanese eggplant recipe is all about the delicious umami bite. The tenderness of this broiled eggplant is unforgettable! Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables when cooked correctly, this recipe offers you the perfect instructions on how to cook it just right. Enjoy this recipe on a salad lunch, a side at dinner, or even as a snack. If you cant find the long Japanese eggplant, the glaze works on all variates of eggplant, even on other vegetables too!
