Bulgogi sauce is a Korean marinade-sauce based on soy sauce, sugar or honey, grated pear or apple, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, sesame and ground onion, dark brown, salty-sweet with umami, a light fruitiness and a nutty aroma. Thinly sliced beef, pork and chicken are marinated in it for grilling and pan-frying, and it is also used as a sauce for rice, noodles and vegetables.

Eggplant with bonito is an unusual combination of Japanese and European cuisine that creates a harmony of flavors. The eggplant, soaked in spicy Thai sauce and rich bulgogi sauce, acquires a deep and savory taste. Its tender flesh, with a light crispy crust after frying, is perfectly complemented by the smoky-salty aroma of dried bonito tuna flakes. The yogurt served with the dish adds freshness and softens the spiciness. This recipe reflects the art of gastronomy where simple ingredients are transformed into a refined dish. Served as an exquisite appetizer or light main course, it is perfect for lovers of rich and exotic flavors. It pairs well with white wine or chilled green tea.
