Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 eggplant long and thick - see note, asian variety
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons perilla oil or olive oil, or sesame oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Filling option 1

  • 1 alfalfa sprouts or any sprouts, package
  • 3 ounces red cabbage thinly sliced

Filling option 2

  • 1/4 red bell pepper
  • 1/4 bell pepper orange
  • 1/4 yellow bell pepper
  • 1/4 green bell pepper
  • 1 enoki mushrooms package

Hot mustard sauce

  • 2 teaspoons mustard yeon gyeoja, 연겨자 or dijon mustard, Korean hot variety
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon rice syrup or sugar
  • 2 tablespoon pear or apple juice or 1 tablespoon Korean plum syrup, juice from grated
  • teaspoon salt

Soy-based sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plum extract or apple juice, Korean

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling vegetables by thinly slicing.
  2. Thinly slice the eggplant lengthwise by running a peeler through the eggplant while pressing it down as hard as you can. Putting pressure on the peeler will help with cutting even slices that are as thick as possible with a peeler. You can also use a mandoline to slice the eggplant.
  3. Heat a pan with a tablespoon of oil. Place the eggplant slices in a single layer, lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook briefly over medium heat, 1 or 2 minutes per each side. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Lay an eggplant slice on a flat surface. Place assorted vegetables on top at one end of the eggplant slice and roll up all the way. Repeat until all eggplant slices are used up.

Notes

  • You can get 8 to 10 thin slices from one eggplant, which will be enough for 2 people as a side dish.
