Ingredients- 1 eggplant (medium-sized)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp perilla powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the eggplant under running water. Trim off the stem and blossom ends, then cut the eggplant into bite-sized pieces. Cutting them to a moderate thickness will help maintain a pleasant texture after cooking.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat. Place the cut eggplant pieces into the dry pan, with no oil. Grill them slowly, allowing them to cook until they turn a light golden brown and become tender. Gently flip the pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Once the eggplant is nicely grilled, transfer it to a serving bowl. Let it cool down slightly. It’s best to mix the seasonings while the eggplant is still warm to help the flavors meld, but it should not be too hot to handle.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to season! Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of nutty perilla powder and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over the slightly cooled eggplant. Gently toss everything together using a spoon or your hands, ensuring that the seasoning coats each piece of eggplant evenly. Be careful not to mash the eggplant while mixing.
