Yaki means grill; and nasu means eggplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a quick and easy Japanese recipe that can be easily prepared in less than 30 minutes. Since Japanese recipes focus on retaining the natural flavor of the ingredients, not much heavy seasonings and sauces are used. For this particular recipe, grilled eggplants are simply served with grated ginger, katsuobushi and soy sauce. If you want to make it gluten free, just make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-blog-1.jpg\" alt=\"japanese grilled eggplant\" class=\"wp-image-1501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-blog-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-blog-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-blog-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-ingredients-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"japanese grilled eggplant\" class=\"wp-image-1502\" width=\"760\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-ingredients-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-ingredients-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-ingredients-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-ingredients-1536x861.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/site.mrslinskitchen.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/japanese-grilled-eggplant-ingredients-2048x1148.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2 Japanese\/Chinese eggplants<\/li><li>soy sauce or gluten-free soy sauce<\/li><li>katsuobushi<\/li><li>ginger<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing eggplant, try to find the one that\u2019s straight and uniform in shape. It will be easier to grill. The eggplant should be firm, not soft or hard, and have a nice shiny purple color. Avoid choosing the ones that have welted and dry stems because they are too old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different kinds of eggplants. For this dish, I use the Japanese or Chinese eggplant. They are longer and slimmer in shape.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fmTeXyskjwo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japanese Grilled Eggplant &#8211; Yaki Nasu<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fmTeXyskjwo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1501,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"cuisine-recipe-category":[],"cuisine-recipe-course":[],"cuisine-recipe-cuisine":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Japanese Grilled Eggplant - Yaki Nasu - Mrs. Lin&#039;s Kitchen - Recipes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Japanese Grilled Eggplant.
