Method

In a hot pan over medium heat, heat a sprinkling of olive oil. Add the eggplant and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggplant softens slightly. You want a crisp surface, but tender inside.
With wet hands, form the sushi rice into 2 rice balls (scant ¾ ounce, or 20 g, each) as detailed.
Place one piece of eggplant over each rice ball.
