Omsom takes this eggplant dish to another flavor-packed level! We like Japanese eggplants in this recipe for their thin skins that soften beautifully in the microwave.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
