SEASONED EGGPLANT {GAJI NAMUL 가지 나물}
Serves 2-3 as a side dish
Ingredients
3 medium sized eggplants, cut lengthwise (5-6 in. long)
2 green onions, chopped (save a little for garnish)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-2 tbsp soy sauce (or to taste)
2 tbsp vinegar (any neutral tasting kind)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Directions
In a medium-large pot, bring water to a simmer over medium heat. Then add the eggplants and keep simmering for about 4 minutes or until slightly tender, and then drain and run under cold water to cool it down. If you do have a steamer then I suggest you do the steaming method instead, as this results in a more flavorful eggplant with a meatier texture.
Mix the eggplant and the rest of the ingredients and garnish with the remaining green onion. Enjoy!
