Kim Dae-seok's Eggplant Side Dish

Steamed eggplant for exactly 4 minutes, then drained of half its moisture to create a tender yet firm texture. Mixed with coarsely crushed garlic and seasoned sauce, resulting in a satisfyingly non-soggy eggplant side dish.

Cooking tips

  • Do not oversteam the eggplants beyond 4 minutes, as they will become tough or soggy.
  • Avoid squeezing out too much moisture from the steamed eggplants—removing only half ensures a firm, pleasant texture without dryness.
  • For enhanced texture and a sharper garlic aroma, use whole garlic cloves crushed with a knife instead of pre-minced garlic.

Recommended for

  • Those who have had trouble with soggy eggplant side dishes before.
  • People wanting a deeply savory side dish made with garlic and anchovy sauce.
  • Those seeking affordable, healthy seasonal side dishes.
