Steamed Eggplant


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 4

Ingredients

1 eggplant
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
few drops peanut oil

Directions:

1. Wash eggplant. Score its skin with a few lengthwise slashes about V2-inch deep. Place on a heatproof dish.

2. Steam until done (15 to 20 minutes). See HOW-TO, _Steaming.

3. Let cool slightly then strip off skin and tear eggplant lengthwise in shreds.

4. Add soy sauce, salt and peanut oil and blend in. Serve hot or cold.

NOTE: Tearing the cooked eggplant gives it a more interesting texture than chopping or mincing does.

VARIATIONS:
* For the peanut oil, substitute sesame oil.
* In step 4, also add 1 or 2 slices fresh ginger root and 1/2 clove garlic, both minced.
* After step 4, arrange eggplant shreds on a serving dish radiating out like flower petals. Leave a space in the center about 3 inches in diameter and fill this with stirred or scrambled eggs, cooked and then broken in small pieces. (For the egg mixture, use 2 eggs, beaten 2 scallion stalks, minced 2 teaspoons soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sugar.)
