Ingredients
- 1 eggplant Chinese; about 9 oz. / 270 g
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chili oil homemade
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or soy sauce, light
- 1 teaspoon Chinkiang vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 green onion , thinly sliced (reserve some for garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cut eggplant into 2” (5 cm) long 1/2” (1 cm) thick sticks. Stack evenly on a plate that can fit into your steamer.
- Set up your steamer by adding water to the pot and stacking the steaming rack on top. Place the plate of eggplant onto the steaming rack. Heat over medium-high heat, covered, until steam comes out of the steamer. Turn to medium heat. Let steam until eggplant reaches desired doneness, about 10 minutes for a chewy texture, or 15 minutes for a very tender texture. Once done, plate the eggplant in a serving dish.
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour it over the steamed eggplant. Garnish with green onion. Stir to mix everything together before eating.
