For this salty-sweet vegetable dish, we sear chunks of eggplant before steaming them in an umami-packed sauce until silky and tender. You will need a large skillet with a lid that fits securely and traps steam in for proper cooking. Long, slender Chinese eggplant will be done after only a couple minutes of steaming; large globe eggplant may take up to 5 minutes.

Simple and delicious
I made this for a friend who loves eggplant and we were both pleased with how delicious it was. It was simple and quick to make. I used coconut aminos instead of the soy sauce since that was all I had, and the flavor was great. I'll try with oyster sauce next time. I toasted the sesame seeds in the skillet before starting to cook to keep clean up to a minimum. This recipe is a keeper.

Fantastic!
Super flavorful and really easy to make. Although it says it serves 4, my husband and I polished it off over dinner. We served it with the spatchcock chutney glazed chickenq, which was also awesome. Fantastic dinner.
