Steps to make to make Japanese Grilled Eggplant - Yaki Nasu

1. Cut off the loose stem. You don’t want to cut the stem tip off completely. Only cut the loose part as much as possible so the eggplant will cook evenly.
2. Grate some ginger. Ginger is used for garnishing so you can add more or less depending on your liking.
3. To grill, place eggplants on a grilling rack and grill on medium-high heat until the skin is burned and looks wrinkly. I cook mine for about 15 minutes, 5 minutes on each side. Depending on the size of your eggplants, you might need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Make sure to rotate your eggplants so they are grilled evenly. It’s okay for the skin to burn because we will peel it off before serving. Remove the eggplants from the heat when done.
4. Let the eggplants cool off a little bit then start peeling the skin. After grilling, the skin should come off easily.
5. Cut the eggplants into small bite-size pieces and place them on a serving plate.
6. To serve, sprinkle some katsuobushi. Add some grated ginger on the top of the eggplants. And lastly, drizzle some soy sauce.
