Eggplant Soup

Japanese style Eggplant soup

I found "Myouga" that is Japanese ginger from farmer's market. Myouga has nice aroma itself. You may use it Japanese thin white noodle called Soumen. It gives nice additional taste. I love to use Myouga for clear soup like this picture.

Ingredients: Eggplant, Onion, Myouga(Japanese ginger), Egg, Soy Source, Salt, Japanese soup stock.

Eggplant Risotto

I haven't put on any pictures for a while. I recently like to cook risotto for my supper. Risotto is an Italian name, but I believe this word is popular in U.S.

I got nice fresh eggplant from Farmer's market last Sunday. Tonight, I cooked eggplant risotto with tomato sauce.

Ingredients: Rice for risotto, diced onion, shitake mushroom, eggplant, Japanese ginger, white wine and water. Cooking time was 20 minutes. It is very easy to cook.
