Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not rinse or squeeze the microwaved eggplant, as this will make it mushy. Instead, spread it out and let it cool naturally to maintain a chewy texture.
  • Adding a little starch syrup to the seasoning gives the eggplant a glossy finish and a subtle sweetness that doesn't overpower, elevating the overall flavor.
  • Instead of peeling the purple skin completely, peel it in lengthwise stripes for a visually appealing look.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly make a refreshing summer side dish using a microwave without using the stove.
  • Those who want chewy and tender eggplant namul without it becoming mushy.
  • Those who want to make a delicious basic side dish with simple ingredients.
