焼やきナス

noun

grilled eggplant; fried eggplant

A dish of eggplant cooked over direct heat or in a pan, often served with soy sauce, ginger, and bonito flakes. Both 'grilled' and 'fried' are used in English descriptions, but the Japanese dish typically involves grilling or pan-frying.

• 焼やきナスにしょうが醤しょう油ゆをかけて食たべた。
