Ingredients
- 3 Japanese or Chinese eggplants
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped about ½ cup or 75g
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1-3 Birds Eye/Thai chiles, minced optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
- Wash and dry the eggplants and place them whole on a sheet pan. Poke a few holes in the eggplants with a fork or toothpick to prevent them from exploding in the oven.
- When the oven is ready, roast them for about 25-30 minutes, until the skins turn brown and the eggplant is soft all the way through.
- Alternatively, you can pop the eggplants on a hot grill for 15-20 minutes.
- While the eggplants are cooking, heat oil in a small pan on medium heat and sweat the scallions in the oil.
- Mix the fish sauce, garlic and Thai chiles in a small bowl and set aside.
- When the eggplants are ready, let them cool before peeling the skin off completely.
- Cut the eggplants into 1-2 inch segments. Arrange the eggplants on a plate, top them with scallion oil, and drizzle the fish sauce dressing over everything.
