This is another way to cook eggplant. You can steam or blanch them in water and pour sizzled soy sauce oil over them and garnish with chopped chillies, bonito flakes and crispy fried shallot slices. Finish touch , squeeze calamansi juice over it. This dish will surely wow you over ! Unless you are no fan of eggplant LOL! My Piggy Jo loves this dish. WB and my Piggy Joshua not keen on eggplant . Joanna and myself are the only ones in the family that love eggplant no matter how it is prepared. You can serve this as a side dish...as for me I can just slurp in down without rice :p It is tangy and savory at the same time. Truly appetizing and this dish is a keeper for sure. Easy to whip up and it taste good too !
the bonito flakes gave it a savory taste...yummy !
