Add a splash of water to the pan & stir. Reduce the heat to low. Cover & let cook for 7-10 min, or until the eggplant is fork-tender. Stir occasionally, adding another splash of water if needed.
Step 6
Fluff the rice.
Step 7
Add the teriyaki sauce & sesame seeds to the eggplant. Stir to combine.

Serve the eggplant & sauce over a bed of fluffy rice. Garnish with cilantro, more sesame seeds & an extra drizzle of teriyaki sauce (optional). Enjoy!
