Simple and Delicious Grilled Eggplant Recipe
Making Delicious Grilled Eggplant that Even Kids Love
A delightful dish different from stir-fried or boiled eggplant! Grilled eggplant, slightly chewy on the outside and tender on the inside, is a wonderful side dish that even children can enjoy without hesitation. Its attractive appearance will also brighten up your dining table. Create a special flavor with simple ingredients.
Essential Ingredients- 1 eggplant (medium size)
- 3 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional or very small amount for kids)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
There are various ways to prepare eggplant, but this grilled recipe is especially useful when you’re short on time in the morning, as it can be made quickly. A delicious eggplant dish can be completed without any special cooking skills.
Step 2
Wash the eggplant thoroughly, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. Cutting it into pieces about two finger-joints long makes it easy to cook and eat.
Step 3
Place the cut eggplant in a preheated dry skillet (no oil) and grill over medium-low heat. Since eggplant can be eaten raw, there’s no need to overcook it until mushy. Grill it just until the surface is lightly browned and the inside is slightly cooked. As the eggplant grills, its moisture will evaporate, enhancing its flavor.
Step 4
While the eggplant is grilling, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 3 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (omit or use a very small amount if you prefer less spice or if serving to children), and 1 tsp minced garlic. Mix well. If desired, you can add a tiny bit of sugar or a small amount of chopped green onion for extra flavor. (The original recipe mentioned water, sugar, green onion, and sesame oil, but this is based on the provided ingredients. They can be added if needed.)
Step 5
Arrange the nicely grilled eggplant on a plate and drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over it. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish, and your beautiful grilled eggplant dish is complete! It’s simple yet delicious, making it a fantastic menu item that saves time during busy breakfast preparation. It tastes best when served warm.
