[Eggplant and Pork Somen] Eat well and beat the summer heat!!
<Ingredients> (for 2 people)
A) Thinly sliced pork loin 150g
Potato starch 1 tsp
Soy sauce 1 tsp
B) Water 200ml
Soy sauce 2 tbsp
Mirin 2 tbsp
Eggplant 2
Ginger 1 piece
Bonito flakes 1 pack (4g)
Green onion to taste
Somen noodles to taste
Sesame oil to taste
****************************************
Slice the eggplant diagonally and thin, then soak in salt water (as a guide, use 1 tsp of salt per 200ml of water).
Rub the potato starch and soy sauce into the pork from A.
Drain the eggplant from step 1, put it in a frying pan, coat with sesame oil (to taste), cover with a lid, and steam-cook (about 3 minutes).
Open the lid, stir-fry briefly, move to the side, add more sesame oil to the empty space, and stir-fry the pork.
Add B, bring to a boil, then add the ginger, bonito flakes, and mix in the green onions.
Boil the somen noodles, rinse in ice water, drain well, and serve on a plate.
Serve with the dipping sauce from step 5.
****************************************
・Please use your preferred cut of pork (thigh, pork offcuts, loin, pork belly, etc. are all fine).

It's hot every day, so
we tend to only eat cold and light things,
but if you do that, your stamina will drop in the middle of summer
and you'll end up feeling worn out.
To prevent that,
it's also important to eat a hearty meal sometimes.
So, dipping noodles!!
It's a dish where you dip cold somen noodles
into a delicious sauce containing eggplant and pork.
Light somen is good, but
this kind of hearty somen is also great.
It's hearty, yet light,
and it will definitely get you excited!!
The key is
to coat the eggplant in sesame oil and steam-fry it first.
It's the same process as the Okuzono-style grilled eggplant.
Since the eggplant is thinly sliced,
you might think a quick stir-fry is enough,
but this one extra step makes the eggplant incredibly delicious,
and without using a lot of oil,
it results in a richer, higher-quality dish.
It's easier to make than you might think,
so please, definitely give it a try.
You'll definitely feel energized after eating it.
