    Vegan Japanese Eggplant Recipes

    This vegan Japanese eggplant recipes collection brings together our favourite eggplant recipes, all made vegan. You’ll find dishes inspired by the way eggplant is commonly used in Japan, from pan-fried and braised preparations to crispy curries and easy rice bowls.

    If you’re in the mood for something comforting, our aubergine katsu curry is a good place to start. For simpler, everyday cooking, the beer and eggplant stir fry is quick to pull together and relies on very little beyond good eggplant, a bottle of beer and a hot pan. And when you want something lighter, miso aubergine makes an easy side that's still properly Japanese.
