The toasted sesame seeds are what really make this dish! Great flavors with the eggplant, and cooked a way I've never done a Japanese eggplant! I wanted to try and slice it for the photos so you could see the "pinwheel" effect, but mine were a little too mushy to be displayed that way. Must have over cooked them! But still delicious! Thanks for sharing....made for Photo Tag game.Reply
