Quick & Delicious Grilled Eggplant Side Dish
How to Make Super Speedy and Flavorful Grilled Eggplant Side Dish
Let’s make a quick side dish for busy mornings: grilled eggplant! It’s incredibly fast and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 eggplant
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp water
- A pinch of chopped green onion
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
This is barely cooking – you just grill it and it’s done! It takes hardly any time, making it perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick side dish.
Step 2
For the grilled eggplant sauce, mix soy sauce with a little water according to your preference. Add sugar and red pepper flakes. If you like it spicy, you can add a bit of finely chopped Cheongyang chili pepper for an extra kick. For added flavor, a sprinkle of sesame seeds is also great.
Step 3
Next, grill the eggplant until it’s golden brown. You can do this directly in a pan without any oil. Eggplant has enough moisture to cook by itself. Grill it until it’s tender and slightly charred. Once grilled, brush the prepared sauce evenly over the eggplant.
