ingredients:
- 200 g boneless chicken breast or thigh
- 90 g eggplants
- 20 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon red miso
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon sake

Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Wash the eggplants. Slice into about 2 cm. wide pieces.

Mix the miso, sugar and sake in a dish.

step 3:
Wrap the eggplants, chicken, 1 tablespoon of the miso mixture and the cheese in aluminium foil.

step 4:
Put the wrapped ingredients in a frying pan and cover and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep coverd for 5 minutes in order to soften the eggplant. After waiting 5 minutes, uncover the pan and place on a serving plate.

comment:
The miso taste becomes very mellow and deep from the umami of the chicken and cheese. The eggplants become very soft and delicious.
