Prepare the oil for deep-frying.
Peel the aubergines/egg plants and cut into 8~12 pieces each
Deep-fry the aubergines/egg-plants until they reach a light brown/âfoxâ colour. Let them loose as much as oil as possible by leaving them on a mesh or a piece of kitchen paper. You will then tranfer them into serving dishes as in picture above.
Drop mirin/Japanese sweet sake, soy sauce, water, dashi konbu/seaweed powder, bonito shavings/Katsuobushi in a pan and heat until boiling point. Add cornstarch dissolved in lukewarm water and stir until you have attained the appropriate thickness. Switch off fire.
Pour sauce in equal amounts over the aubergines/egg-plants in each dish.
