Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When mixing the eggplants, always combine all seasoning ingredients together firstโ€”adding them separately can result in uneven seasoning. Pre-mixing ensures even distribution.
  • Squeezing out as much moisture as possible after steaming prevents the dish from becoming watery or sticky later, preserving its chewy and smooth texture.
  • The perilla seed powder added at the end helps absorb any remaining fine moisture and dramatically enhances the dishโ€™s nutty aroma and depth of flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a light, rich, and healthy vegetable side dish instead of oil-heavy stir-fried dishes.
  • People wanting to make a fresh, moist, and refreshing seasonal vegetable side that boosts appetite during summer.
