Pork-Stuffed Eggplant

This is one of those recipes that's fun to make like an arts and crafts project. The basic idea is to make a partial lengthwise cut through the eggplant so that you'll be able to stuff a thin slice of pork inside. The flavoring is a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and ginger poured over the stuffed eggplants. Then you just cover it up and cook in the microwave for about 7 minutes. So easy! My favorite bento place in Tokyo used to do this dish every so often and I loved it. So happy to know that it's so simple and equally satisfying at home, too.
