Ingredients

• 2 tbsp miso
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sake
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 large eggplant, cut into chunks
• 250 g pork belly, skin off, cut into 1 cm wide strips, then cut into 3 cm pieces
• 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1 brown onion, roughly chopped
• 1 green capsicum, roughly chopped
• 1 tsp cornflour mixed with ¼ cup cold water

Instructions

1. Combine the miso, soy sauce, sake and sugar in a small bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Fry the eggplant for 5 minutes, or until well browned all over. Remove from the wok.
3. Fry the pork belly for about 4 minutes, or until well browned. Remove from the wok.
4. Add the garlic, onion and capsicum and fry until the onion is lightly browned. Return the pork and eggplant to the wok and pour over the miso mixture. Toss until coated and fragrant. Add a little of the cornflour slurry if needed, to thicken any juices in the wok.
