Eggplant spaghetti with tomato sauce
The Italian way to remove the bitterness from eggplant is to sprinkle it with salt and leave it in a colander for 20 to 30 minutes. This concentrates the flavor better than soaking it in water, as is done in Japanese cuisine. The tomato sauce made with fried eggplant is rich. To avoid losing the flavor, add the mozzarella cheese after turning off the heat. Residual heat is sufficient. Chef Kataoka shares his special recipe
