4 slender Japanese eggplants, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise (about 1 lb)

This recipe was a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some eggplant that was starting to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this recipe was amazing! The eggplant was cooked perfectly and the teriyaki sauce was just the right amount of sweet and savory.

This recipe was easy to follow and the eggplant turned out great. However, the teriyaki sauce was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more soy sauce or mirin to the sauce.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the teriyaki sauce.
