Ingredients:
* 4 eggplants
* 2 tablespoons red rice vinegar (note: not red wine vinegar)
* 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as canola
* 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
* 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Preparation:
Remove the stalk from the eggplants. Cut in the middle and then cut each half lengthwise so that you have 4 equal pieces.
Steam the eggplant over high heat until softened (about 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and cool.
Whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the eggplant and serve.
The key ingredient in the dressing is red rice vinegar, available at makrets.
