A special side dish featuring grilled eggplant stuffed with whole garlic, then filled with a savory, slightly spicy anchovy doenjang sauce

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • To eliminate fishy smell, microwave the anchovies for 30 seconds before chopping.
  • Avoid cutting too deeply into the eggplant—this can cause the garlic to tear when stuffing.
  • Chop vegetables for the sauce with slight texture remaining; overly fine chopping reduces satisfying bite.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a unique, thoughtful side dish using fresh summer eggplants.
  • People seeking a savory, non-spicy Korean dish with deep umami flavor that pairs perfectly with rice.
  • Home cooks looking to create impressive eggplant dishes effortlessly using an air fryer.
