Instructions
1
Sear and braise(15 min)
Salt eggplant chunks, let sit 10 min, pat dry. Sear in hot oil until deeply golden on all sides (3 min). Add garlic, soy sauces, sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Cover and braise 4 min until eggplant is meltingly tender and the sauce has reduced to a glossy glaze. Sprinkle with scallions.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
Salting removes bitterness and prevents the eggplant from absorbing too much oil. Pat thoroughly dry before searing.
