Susan's Japanese Eggplant (Aubergine) Teriyaki image

Susan was one of my room-mates (and friends) in law school in Los Angeles. She is South African but grew up in LA and she gave me this recipe. This is a very pretty purple dish. I made this for my family and they would have preferred it without the sugar.
