Ingredients

Soy Glazed Eggplant
  • 1 eggplant (5-6 cups cubed) $1.29
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.24
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce $0.48
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar $0.16
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced $0.16
  • 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger $0.30
Optional for Serving
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts $0.12
  • 2 green onions, sliced $0.23
  • 4 cups cooked rice $0.60
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise* $0.17
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha* $0.11

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the eggplant into 3/4-inch cubes. The easiest way to do this is to first slice the eggplant into 3/4-inch slices, then lay each slice flat and slice into 3/4-inch squares.
  2. Add the olive oil to a large skillet at heat over medium. Once hot, swirl the oil to coat the surface of the skillet, then add the eggplant cubes. Cook the eggplant cubes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened (about ten minutes). If the eggplant begins to stick, add a couple tablespoons of water to the skillet to help loosen the eggplant.
  3. While the eggplant is cooking, prepare the soy ginger glaze. Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
  4. Once the eggplant is soft, pour in the soy ginger glaze, making sure to scrape out all the sugar that may have settled to the bottom of the bowl. Continue to stir and cook the eggplant in the skillet, dissolving any browned bits off the bottom, for about 5 more minutes.
  5. Top the eggplant with chopped peanuts and sliced green onion before serving. Serve over warm rice with a drizzle of sriracha mayo, if desired.

Notes

  • *Mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha to make sriracha mayo.
