Sweet & Salty Aubergine (Eggplant)

This is my own original creation and it is a very easy, quick and delicious dish. Also you do not need to prepare a lot of ingredients. When I feel that I just want an easy thing to eat I always make this. It tastes sweet, salty and goes perfectly with rice.

For the toppings I use the Japanese Onsen Tamago, but you can always use a Poached egg instead.

I will write about how to make perfect Japanese onsen tamago later.
