Simmered Eggplant and Okra

Cut the top of the Okra. Cut into halves

Peel stripes into the skin of the eggplant then cut into 3 inch pieces. Then cut each piece into into narrow 1/2 inch strips. The goal is to make the eggplant and the okra sizes about the same.

In a microwave safe container, put in eggplant and okra and pour oil and add salt.

Cover lightly with plastic food wrap and microwave for 3 minutes.

Mix with soup base and ginger.

Sprinkle with bonito flakes at the end.
