Pairs with

The umami-sweetness of teriyaki and aubergine's meatiness want a medium-bodied wine with fruit — a rosé or a light red with ripe berry notes.

  • Teriyaki sauce: 4 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp sugar
  • Sesame seeds
  • Spring onion, sliced
  • Jasmine rice
  • Steamed pak choi

Method

  1. 11. Score the aubergine halves in a cross-hatch pattern. Brush with oil, salt.
