    Rinse the squid under cold water and pat dry. Remove the beak and internal organs, then slice the squid into rings.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Wash the eggplant and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Optionally, sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then rinse and pat dry.

Making the Spicy Teriyaki Sauce

    Cook the Squid

    Add the squid rings to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque and are cooked through. Remove squid from the pan and set aside.

  3. 6

    Sauté the Eggplant

    In the same pan, add the eggplant cubes and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned.

  4. 7
