Seasoning Ingredients- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2.5ml Sugar (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- 2.5ml Minced Garlic (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- 1 Pinch Salt

- 1 Pinch Salt

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the eggplants thoroughly and slice them thinly, excluding the seedy core, as shown in the photo. (About 0.5cm thickness is ideal.) Place the prepared eggplant slices on a stove-top grill (like a fish grill) and cook over low heat for 7 minutes.
Step 2
Finely chop the scallions and the white part of the leek. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped leek, minced garlic, and the green parts of the scallions (excluding the leafy tops). Add soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and salt to this bowl and mix well to create the seasoning base. Set aside the leafy tops of the scallions, cut into 3cm pieces, as they will be added at the end.
Step 3
Flip the eggplant slices and continue grilling over low heat for another 3 minutes. The total grilling time is 10 minutes. Transfer the grilled eggplant slices to the bowl with the prepared seasoning.
Step 4
Gently mix the eggplant with the seasoning until well combined. Finally, add the reserved scallion leafy tops and toasted sesame seeds, and toss lightly once more. Your delicious grilled eggplant salad is ready!
Step 5
Your chewy and flavorful 10-minute grilled eggplant salad is complete. It makes a great side dish for rice or a delicious snack.
