This Man's Cook Grilled Eggplant

Grilled eggplant with a crisscross pattern of cuts, browned in oil and served with a savory, umami-rich sauce

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Make deep crisscross cuts in the eggplant so it cooks evenly, doesn't burn, and absorbs the sauce well.
  • Eggplant is a fat-soluble vegetable, so use plenty of oil when grilling to preserve its rich flavor and achieve a tender texture.
  • The green parts of scallions wilt quickly when exposed to heat, so always add them as a final garnish to maintain vibrant color.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a chewy and nutty alternative to soft, watery eggplant salad.
  • Those seeking a clean, refreshing, and subtly flavorful Korean side dish that highlights the natural taste of ingredients.
