Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 eggplant Asian or Japanese
  • 4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • 2 tsp Korean soup soy sauce also known as gukganjang
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

  1. Add vinegar to a bowl of water. Cut eggplant half in lengthwise. Slice each half into 3-4 segments. Put the eggplant pieces in the vinegar water for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, put a steamer basket over a pot of water and bring to a boil on high heat. Drain the eggplants and put in the steamer, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes or until the eggplants are softened.
  3. Transfer the softened eggplants in a bowl and let them cool little bit. Tear or slice each section of eggplant into bite-size thin strips.
  4. Add garlic, green onion, Korean soup soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Toss well to coat the eggplants. Serve with rice.
  5. Note: Serve this Korean side dish at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. You can store it for up to 1 week in the fridge.
