1 tablespoon miso (味噌)
1 teaspoon grated ginger (おろし生姜)

pork belly

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken breast is leaner while pork shoulder is more affordable.

White bean puree offers creaminess without soy allergens.

1

Cut off the stem of the eggplant and slice it thinly using a peeler.

Spread out the pork belly slices and place the eggplant on top, then roll it up from one end.

3

Arrange the rolled eggplant and pork belly in a frying pan and heat over medium.

4

Sear the surface of the pork belly until browned (about 2 minutes per side).

5

While searing, mix together the mentsuyu, miso, grated ginger, grated garlic, water, and sugar.

6

Once the pork belly is browned, add the mixed sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes, coating everything well.

7

When the sauce has reduced by half, it's done.
