  • Make ponzu sauce (follow instructions below).
  • Prep the vegetables by chopping tomato and green onions or chives and keep them in the refrigerator.  Cut eggplants into 1-inch strips then fry them in oil until soft.  
    Frying Eggplant
  • Start the grill!
    Light the Grill
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper.  When the grill is ready, grill the salmon about 2 minutes on each side.  Remove from grill and set side.
  • Cook the soba, buckwheat noodles, according to the package.  When noodles are done, take them out on a colander then rinse them under chilled running water.  Drain soba noodles well and portion the noodles equally into four pasta dishes.

Can't go wrong with fried pork 😁  うまっ😋  Serving: 2 people  INGREDIENTS:
¾ pound pork loin (cut into two large slices or four smaller slices)
1 cups of panko bread crumbs
¼ cup four
1 egg, well beaten with a tablespoon of cold water
Salt and pepper  2 cups of vegetable oil for deep frying  For the home-made Tonkatsu sauce:
2 tablespoons Worchester sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce  DIRECTION:
Make the sauce by mixing the Worchester sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce in a small saucepan.  Heat the sauce until everything is well-combined.  Keep it warm.  Cut pork into either two large slices or four smaller slices.  The meat should be about ¼ inch-thick.  Tenderize the meat if necessary and cut slits into any fat or membrane so the meat will not curl as it deep-fries.  Lightly salt and pepper the pork. 
Dust the pork in flour, dredge them in egg mixture, then press them onto panko bread crumbs.  The pork should be covered completely in bread crumbs.
Heat the oil to 300 F and fry the pork one at a time, turning it as it brown's about 3 minutes total.  Take the pork out of oil and dry it in an oil drying rack or paper towel. 
Cut the pork into strips and serve them hot with home-made Tonkatsu sauce.  #cookjapanesefoodathome
