Steamed Eggplant


Ingredients

  • 1 pound Korean or other small Asian eggplants (2 or 3), washed, cut lengthwise in half and then crosswise into 2 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce or Korean soup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Korean hot pepper flakes (gochu-garu)
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Method:

  1. Pour 2 cups water into a medium pot and set a steamer basket over it. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add eggplant, cover, and steam until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from the heat, uncover, and let eggplant cool.
  2. When eggplant is cool enough to handle, tear each piece lengthwise into strips about 1/3-inch thick. Transfer eggplant strips to a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss well to combine. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.
