How to Prepare Green Tea Soup With Roasted Eggplant (Ochazuke) [Vegan]
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Top and tail the eggplants and cut into rounds approximately 1/2 inch thick. Halve each round then toss them in a bowl together with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Lay the half-rounds in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 25 minutes or until nicely browned, turning halfway through.
- Soak the shiitake mushrooms in a bowl of boiling water for 20-30 minutes. Drain the water and slice the shiitake into strips.
- Cook the soba noodles according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and set aside.
- Use a mandolin to finely slice the carrot and the daikon into rounds. Chop up the spring onion, both the white and green parts, with a sharp knife.
- Boil the 4 cups of water and brew the green tea, steeping the leaves for approx. 3-4 minutes, then straining.
- When you’re ready to eat, divide the vegetables and noodles between two bowls, adding the strained green tea over the top. Top each bowl with the seaweed and roasted eggplant.
- Drizzle with a touch of sesame oil, and enjoy immediately!
