Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Eggplant

Slice the eggplants into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

2

Sauté the Garlic

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Cook the Eggplant

Add the eggplant cubes to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the eggplant is tender and starts to brown.

4

Add Spices and Sauces

Stir in red chili flakes, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5

Finish the Dish

Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
