Main Ingredients
- 1 eggplant
- 1/5 onion
- 5g green onion (scallion)
- 5g red chili pepper
- 5g green chili pepper
Seasoning
- 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 4-5 drops vinegar
- 10-20ml water
- 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 4-5 drops vinegar
- 10-20ml water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the eggplant thoroughly and slice it into thick rounds, about 2 to 2.5 cm (approximately 1 inch) thick. These will be our ‘steaks’.
Step 2
Score the cut sides of the eggplant slices with shallow cuts, about halfway through the thickness. Be careful not to cut too deep, as this can cause the slices to separate during cooking.
Step 3
Lightly season the scored eggplant slices with salt on both sides. A pinch of salt sprinkled evenly over the surface will help draw out some moisture and season the eggplant beautifully.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the delicious sauce that will perfectly complement our eggplant steaks. Finely mince the onion, green onion, red chili pepper, and green chili pepper. Finely chopped vegetables will add wonderful depth of flavor to the sauce.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the minced vegetables for richness. Then, add 0.5 tablespoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness and 4-5 drops of vinegar for a bright, acidic note. The olive oil really enhances the natural flavors of the eggplant.
Step 6
Next, pour in 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce and about 10-20ml of water. Stir everything together until well combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed; if it’s too bland, add a little more salt (about 1/3 teaspoon should do). I found this amount to be just right.
Step 7
With all the preparations complete, it’s time to cook the eggplant using the CUCKOO White 3-Burner Induction Cooktop. Set your induction cooktop to a high heat setting and generously coat your pan with olive oil.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the sliced eggplant onto the pan. The key to perfectly cooked eggplant is heat control. The CUCKOO Induction Cooktop features a powerful 3,400W ultra-high heat capability, making it exceptional for dishes requiring intense heat. Its precise temperature control ensures consistent heat without fluctuations, preventing food from burning or sticking – a true game-changer for cooking.
Step 9
Sear the eggplant slices on both sides until they are golden brown and beautifully caramelized. Thanks to the powerful heat, the eggplant steak cooks up quickly, developing a slightly crispy exterior while remaining tender and moist inside.
Step 10
Transfer the perfectly seared eggplant steaks to your serving plate, arranging them attractively.
Step 11
Finally, generously spoon the prepared sauce over the cooked eggplant slices. Your delicious and impressive Eggplant Steak is now complete! Serve immediately while warm for the best experience.
