【なんちゃって】ナスでうなぎ蒲焼風作ってみる

Thank you for watching! This is Sammy's Workshop. This archived video features "Eggplant Stamina Kabayaki Style," made by using eggplant to resemble eel! By splitting the eggplant lengthwise and making small, crisscross cuts, it not only looks like eel, but the sweet and savory sauce soaks in instantly. Pre-cooking in the microwave before grilling creates a fragrant, melt-in-your-mouth texture in a short time! The sweet and savory sauce and the thickness from the flour make it a perfect match for rice, so please try making it at home! -------------------------------------------------------- 🍆 Melt-in-your-mouth texture! Eggplant Stamina Kabayaki Style (Serves about 2) [Ingredients (Serves about 2)] Eggplant: 2-3 (Larger ones are easier to open and recommended) Wheat flour (or potato starch): Appropriate amount (A key supporting player for the sauce to coat the eggplant) Salad oil (or sesame oil): 2 tablespoons (To allow the eggplant to absorb the oil well) ★ Hearty and rich! Eel-style grilled eggplant sauce (mix beforehand) Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons Mirin: 2 tablespoons Sake: 1 tablespoon Sugar: 1 tablespoon Grated ginger (tube): 1/2 teaspoon (antibacterial effect & tightens the overall flavor) ★ Finishing touches (optional) Sansho pepper powder (or shichimi chili pepper): a sprinkle of appropriate amount (instantly gives it an authentic eel-style aroma!) -------------------------------------------------------- 【Easy 4-step recipe】 ①【Preparing the eggplant to resemble an eel】 1. Cut off the stem of the eggplant and peel off all the skin with a peeler. 2. Wrap each eggplant individually in plastic wrap and heat in a microwave (600W) for about 2 to 2.5 minutes (it's done when it's soft all over). 3. Remove the plastic wrap and let it cool slightly. Then, make a deep vertical cut without cutting all the way through to the bottom. 4. Gently spread the eggplant open from the cut to the left and right, like opening a book, and flatten it. 5. To allow the flavor to penetrate easily and to make it look like eel, make shallow, fine, crisscross cuts (hidden cuts) about 2mm apart vertically and horizontally on the inside. 6. Lightly coat both sides of the eggplant with flour (or potato starch). ② [Sear until golden brown (medium heat)] 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and add the opened eggplant. 2. Gently press down on the eggplant with a spatula or similar utensil, and sear both sides until golden brown and fragrant. *Point: Searing it thoroughly at this stage removes excess moisture from inside the eggplant, making it less likely to spoil. ③ [Coat with Sauce (High Heat)] 1. Once both sides are crispy and fragrant, pour the mixed [Kabayaki Sauce] around the edge of the pan all at once. 2. Slightly increase the heat and, while shaking the pan, repeatedly spoon the sauce over the surface of the eggplant. 3. The flour coating on the eggplant will thicken the sauce. Stir-fry thoroughly until the liquid at the bottom of the pan is gone and the sauce coats the eggplant thickly and frothy. Then turn off the heat. ④ [Finishing] Serve on a plate and, if desired, sprinkle with sansho pepper powder (or shichimi chili pepper) to finish! It's also delicious served over rice in an "unaju-style" dish. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 【🏠 An Important Request from Sammy's Workshop: Streaming Rules】 Sammy's Workshop's streams are like my "room" or "home."
