1. Combine the ingredients in a dish.

3. Wrap with plastic wrap and microwave for about 4 minutes until wilted.
4. Remove the wrap and lightly stir.
5. The residual heat will evenly wilt all of the eggplant.

7. Mix the sauce from Step 1 with the sardines until the sardines are completely coated in the seasonings.
8. Garnish with the chopped leek and enjoy.
9. This time, I used a large eggplant.
