Ingredients

Preparation

1 eggplant [approximately 1/4 pound - 113 g] Cold water Salt Boiling water 5 tablespoons [75 ml] sesame seeds 3 tablespoons [45 ml] soy sauce 2 tablespoons [30 ml] sugar 1/4 teaspoon [1 ml] m.s.g.

Thinly slice eggplant approximately 2 inches [5 cm] long and 1/4 inch [6 mm] wide; dip slices in cold water for 10 minutes. Then cook eggplant slices in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and lightly press slices to get the water out. In a heavy bottom hot frypan, heat sesame seeds until swollen and they just start to burst, but do not roast too much; grind seeds with a pestle or in an electric grinder. Add last 3 ingredients [soy sauce, sugar, m.s.g.] and crush all ingredients together. Mix well with eggplant slices.

In fact, I think this eggplant is being steamed first, then bring to Bake one, bcuz i can eat the skin is a bit crisp ...
