"There is so much more vegetable use in Thailand, India and China than meat. Yes, when you go to the markets or buy street food, you see shrimp or chicken - but mostly vegetables." -Jean-Georges Vongerichten

The refrigerator light goes on...

This works great on the grill – maybe better than in the oven. Set the grill to high and place the eggplant on cut side down. After about 3 minutes, turn the eggplant 90 degrees to get the grill marks right. Roast for another 3 minutes and then turn skin side down.

Add the sauce, reduce the heat to medium, and roast the eggplant for about 15 minutes. Close the lid on the grill between each step.

The recipe is great: sweet, salty, and umami as well as rich and creamy from the roasted eggplant. Serve this as a side dish or on top of fried rice.

Asian Glazed Roasted Eggplant recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. dark sesame oil
  • 2 medium eggplants (sliced lengthwise)
  • spray oil

Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400°F.

Carefully score the cut side of the eggplant in a diamond pattern. Cut about 1/2 inches deep into the flesh of the eggplant.

Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until well blended.

When the oven is hot, spray the cut side of the eggplant with oil and place face down on the baking sheet.

Roast for 10 minutes and then turn the eggplant skin side down on the baking sheet.

Divide the sauce between the four halves of the eggplant. Use a spoon to spread the sauce evenly across the eggplant.

Roast for another 20 minutes.

Serve.
