Now this is a delicious way to cook eggplant. As you guys may or not know, I love Korean cuisine. I also love eggplant, so this dish is the best of both worlds. This dish can be paired nicely with a meat dish and rice.
Ingredients:
1 eggplant
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon green onion, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
pinch of black pepper
pinch of red chili flakes
1/2 white sesame seeds
Directions:
- Wash eggplant and cut into thin rounds
- Place frying-pan on high heat. Once hot, place eggplant in – without any oil or butter. Cook on one side of the eggplant until you see some browning. Then flip until you get some browning on the other side (Note: There is alot of water in eggplants – you will hear the pan sizzle from the water coming out)
- For the marinade: Take out a mixing bowl and put in soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes, sugar, minced garlic and black pepper. Place in spring onions as well.
- Toss grilled eggplant slices in the marinade. Use two spoons to help you toss and coat
