From Kentetsu's side dish series 'Serve This With Anything'. This exquisite recipe uses summer vegetables from your fridge (eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes) and finishes them with an all-purpose Chinese-style nanban sauce. The combination of grilled vegetables and fresh tomatoes makes this dish perfect with rice or drinks.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (Generous batch)

  • Eggplant: 2
  • Tomato: 1-2
  • Bell Pepper: 2

Seasonings

  • Vegetable Oil: 3-4 tbsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger: 1 clove equivalent
  • [A] Grated Garlic: 1 clove equivalent
  • [A] Soy Sauce: 2 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar: 2 tsp
  • [A] Vinegar: 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Sesame Oil: 1 tbsp
  • [A] Finely Chopped Scallion: 10cm
  • [A] Water: 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. Finely chop 10cm of scallion after making diagonal slits.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1 clove equivalent of grated ginger, 1 clove equivalent of grated garlic, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, 1.5 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp water, and the chopped 10cm scallion. Mix well to create the marinade.
  3. Heat the prepared marinade in the microwave.
  4. Cut 2 bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove stems and seeds, and chop into rough pieces.
  5. Cut 1-2 tomatoes into 8 wedges.
  6. Cut 2 eggplants in half lengthwise, then in half again. Score the skin in a cross-hatch pattern. (This helps the flavor penetrate the skin easily).
  7. Heat 3-4 tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add the eggplant, coat with oil, and grill until golden brown on the skin side. (Minimizing oil and grilling the skin side first helps maintain color).
  8. Remove the eggplant and grill the bell peppers in the same pan until golden brown on both sides.
  9. Arrange the grilled eggplant and bell peppers, along with the cut tomatoes, in a storage container or tray.
  10. Pour the warm, heated marinade over the vegetables while they are still hot. (Pouring the marinade over hot vegetables helps the flavors meld well).
  11. Let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator until the flavors have fully infused. Then it's ready!
