Materials
Super easy eggplant side dish! Delicious both hot and cold! A refreshing version of sweet and sour eggplant recipe.
First, cut the eggplant into small sections, then cut it lengthwise in half.
Make diagonal cuts into the surface of the eggplant with a knife, without cutting all the way through.
Cut the eggplant in half again 🔪 This makes it easier for it to cook through and absorb the flavors ☑️ (This step can be omitted if the eggplant is very thin)
Place a little over 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, skin side down, coating the eggplant completely. Cover and fry over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
After frying, flip all the eggplants over so that the skin is facing up.
Cover and fry over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, or until the eggplant softens.
Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water evenly.
Pour in the sweet and sour sauce
Once it boils, turn off the heat. Don't reduce the broth; let the eggplant soak in the sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
This way of cooking makes the fruit sweet and sour, appetizing, and not greasy! It can be eaten hot or cold, each with its own unique flavor 😍
