I had a special lunch at work today and particularly loved the eggplant (bottom right), when I asks some coworkers what it was called or if they knew how to prepare it like that they werent too sure. They think its either ナスしぎ焼き(shigiyaki) or ナスの味噌田楽(misodengaku). The degaku seems closest based on pics but im wondering if theres anyone here that might be able to help me pinpoint what it’s called so i can try to make it at home.
The skin was crispy and hardened but the actual meat of the eggplant was soft, juicy and tender.
If anyone has any clue what that style or way of cooking it is called id be so hype!
