This is a perfect substitute for those who want to enjoy the eel bowl :)Eggplants look just like eels! Juicy and tender eggplants go great with white rice!!!BTW, my mom's eggplant dish I mentioned in this video is here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3ZcVgJtU1Q---------------------------------Vegetarian Mock Eel BowlDifficulty: EasyTime: 30minNumber of servings: 1Ingredients:2 eggplantseel sauce* 1 tbsp. soy sauce* 1 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)* 1 tbsp. sugar* 1 tsp. Sake1 bowl of riceKizaminori (finely shredded Nori seaweed sheet)Sansho Japanese pepper if you likeDirections:1. Make a few holes in the eggplants so that they won't explode. Make an incision around the stem end.2. Place them directly on a stove on a baking rack if you have (or in a frying pan, grill, oven, or toaster oven), then roast until the skins get wrinkly and tender inside. You can also wrap in plastic wrap and microwave at 600w for 2 minutes.3. Cool until you can handle them, then remove the skins. Make an incision lengthwise and open.4. Heat the eel sauce in a frying pan until it begins to bubble. Place the eggplants and cook until the liquid is gone.5. Serve cooked rice in a rice bowl, layer some Kizaminori (finely shredded Nori seaweed sheet), place the eggplants, then sprinkle with Sansho Japanese pepper if you like.レシピ(日本語)http://cooklabo.blogspot.jp/2014/08/blog-post_12.html---------------------------------#ochikeron #なんちゃって #JapaneseCookingMusic byKevin MacLeodLocal Forecasthttp://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1300010FYI (products I used in my videos):http://www.amazon.co.jp/lm/R3VVDX7JZ5GYJE/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=247&creative=7399&linkCode=ur2&tag=shopping072-22♥Original T-SHIRTS♥http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFsQE0qd_4w♥Visit my Blog to know more about ME♥http://createeathappy.blogspot.com/♥My Recipe Posts in Japanese♥http://cooklabo.blogspot.jp/http://cookpad.com/amihttp://twitter.com/alohaforever♥and of course SUBSCRIBE♥http://www.youtube.com/ochikeron
