～From a kitchen where cats live～

Melt-in-your-mouth juicy steak with seasonal white eggplant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ingredients
White eggplant... 2
Olive oil... 2-3 tablespoons
Soy sauce... 1 tablespoon
Garlic... 1 clove, grated
Ponzu sauce... to taste
Black pepper
Shiso leaves
Ground sesame seeds
Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Cut the white eggplant into 2cm thick rounds
Slowly pan-fry them
*Take your time and use medium heat
While the white eggplant is cooking
It starts to look like it's saying, 'I'm already melting...' (lol)
The trick is to wait patiently until it's browned✨
Once it's soft and melty, sizzle it with soy sauce, ponzu, and garlic✨
Plate it up, sprinkle with black pepper and ground sesame seeds,
add some shiso leaves and cherry tomatoes, and it's done🙌
Adding these garnishes instantly gives it that 'gourmet bistro dish' feel🌿✨
And since white eggplant explodes with flavor when it absorbs oil, not being afraid of olive oil is the shortcut to victory😆
That plump... melty... texture of white eggplant has something that confuses a cat's heart🤣🤍🍆
Next, quickly blanch the okahijiki (land seaweed),
cool it in water, squeeze it dry, and chop it up roughly😆
and the simple okahijiki side dish is done🙌
and goes great with rice~🤤
The okahijiki is tasty too🥰
Kai gently places his front paw on it, looking serious as if checking, 'Is this a new type of fluff...?'🤍(lol)
Jazz is beside him, looking a bit calm with a face that says, 'Brother, that's food.'🖤(lol)
Like this...🤣
The aroma the moment it's finished cooking is unfair, so the 'cat inspectors' Othello duo gather in the kitchen😻🐾
This is also,
a seasonal recommended menu item at the 'Vegetarian Cafe'...🤭 Hehe
