Korean eggplant side dish

Since I move to Belgium, I miss Korean food, they don't have Korean restaurant as in France :( too sad :(

I love eggplant, it tastes very good in Chinese cuisine and in Korean cuisine :) I found the recipe how to make the Korean eggplant!! Yay!




Attention: You might not want to talk or kiss anybody after eating this dish because your mouth will be filled with strong garlic flavor.... hmmm... better stay at home after eating it...

Ingredients
3 slim Asian eggplant or 1-2 fat Western eggplant

Sauce
3 cloves of finely chopped garlic
2 finely chopped spring onions
1tbsp soya sauce
1tsp fish sauce (if you don't have it, replace by 1tsp soya sauce)
1tsp hot pepper flakes
2tsp sesame oil

Instructions
1. Chop the eggplant to about 3-finger length and 2-finger width or a bit bigger

2. Steam the eggplant at medium-low heat for 10mins or until it is cooked
Test if it is ready => use a chopstick to poke into the eggplant, if it can be poked easily, then it is ready!
Note: be careful when you open the lid to check the eggplant, watch out the water from the lid won't drop to the eggplant and make them wet!

3. Take the eggplant out and let it cool down

4. For the sauce: mix all ingredients and seasoning together

5. Tear the eggplant into smaller pieces
Add in the sauce and use your hand or a spetula to mix them well

6. You can either serve it immediately or serve it cold

Enjoy!
