Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, stem and all, and place on baking sheet, cut side down. Bake until soft, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Scoop out the flesh and transfer it to a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the sugar soy sauce, salt, chili paste, and lime or lemon juice. Using on-off pulses, process to a thick, coarse puree, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to grind evenly.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the chopped cilantro and green onions. Serve at room temp, garnished with cilantro leaves.
