Seasoned Steamed Eggplant That Will Wow Your Taste Buds

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Eggplants
  • 2 tablespoons White Vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Black Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground White Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Oil (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Scallions
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted White Sesame Seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro Leaves

Instructions

  1. Slice the eggplants into rounds or wedges, then sprinkle lightly with salt. Allow them to sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture and reduce bitterness.
  2. Rinse the salted eggplants under cold water, ensuring all the salt is washed off. Gently pat them dry with a towel to prepare for cooking.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the neutral cooking oil.
  4. Add the eggplants to the hot pan and sauté until they become soft and develop a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Mix together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. If desired, stir in red chili oil for a spicy kick.
  6. Pour the sauce over the sautéed eggplants, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Remove from heat, then garnish with the sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
