Dear Japanese Food Lovers,
Hello from Aiko at isfor WA, Oxford!
Do you like aubergines (eggplants)? If not… you might want to skip this newsletter (just kidding! 😆).
In Japanese cooking, aubergines are true all-rounders — you can grill them, simmer them, or fry them, and they soak up any flavour beautifully. They’re often seen as the “model student” of side dishes, perfect with a bowl of rice.
What’s fascinating is how their taste and texture change depending on how you cut them!
At isfor WA, we’ve already shared a few aubergine recipes, but there are still so many more to come — think Aubergine Kabayaki, Aubergine Katsu, or Teriyaki Aubergine.
Stay tuned for more umami-rich inspiration!
Happy Cooking!
Aiko
