As I already repeated time and time again, the Japanese cuisine/gastronomy has a lot to offer to vegans and vegetarians for the simple reason that such priorities are typical of the Buddhist monks (I mean the real ones!) in this country.
Here is a very simple but very Japanese recipe with aubergines/egg plants:
Triple-Taste Aubergines/Egg-plants!

- Egg plants/Aubergines: 5
- Green leeks: 1 tablespoon (chopped)
