Ingredients
  

For the Sauce

  • 2 tbsp miso
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Tobanjyan

For Stir Fry

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 Asian eggplants cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 lb pork belly sliced and cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions
 

  • Make the Sauce: Combine miso, sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and Tobanjyan in a bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside for later use.
  • Cook the Eggplant: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggplant pieces, cooking until they're tender and slightly browned. Once cooked, transfer the eggplant to a plate and set aside.
  • Prepare the Pork: In the same skillet, add the pork belly pieces. Stir-fry until the pork is cooked through and begins to crisp on the edges.
  • Combine Ingredients: Reintroduce the eggplant to the skillet once the pork is cooked. Pour the sauce over the pork and eggplant, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  • Finishing Touches: After the sauce has thickened and the ingredients are well combined, remove the skillet from the heat. The dish is now ready to be served.
