Marinated Japanese Eggplant

 Jeff Frontz says:
This made for a tasty marinade. I used small white eggplant cut in 1/8 inch slices lengthwise, very lightly brushed with olive oil and baked @ 325°F. for about 20-30 minutes, turning once, until tender. I also omitted the extra salt (soy sauce has so much already).
