COLD STEAMED EGGPLANT WITH SESAME SOY DRESSING



Cold Steamed Eggplant with Sesame Soy Dressing image

Steamed eggplant has a delicate, silky texture. You may have tasted similar light, refreshing eggplant dishes in Asian restaurants. Dress the eggplant while it's still hot; it will drink up the sauce so that flavor runs through and through. Then refrigerate and serve the salad cold.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar (omit if using seasoned rice wine vinegar, which is sweet)
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons sesame oil or walnut oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
Pinch of cayenne
2 pounds eggplant, preferably Japanese eggplants
Salt
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 bag baby arugula, washed and dried, for serving
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated or finely minced fresh ginger (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, sesame or walnut oil, and canola oil. Add the optional ginger and/or garlic. Set aside.
  • If you can find Japanese eggplant, cut them in half lengthwise. If using large globe eggplants, cut them lengthwise into quarters. Place in a steamer and steam 10 to 15 minutes, until thoroughly tender. Remove from the heat and cut in 3/4-inch wide slices. Season with salt. Toss gently with the dressing (it's okay if the eggplant falls apart a little) and half the chives while warm, and chill for 1 hour. Toss again and serve on a bed of baby arugula. Sprinkle the remaining chives over the top.

Time 24m

¾ cup sesame seeds, divided

  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a bright, pungent flavor to the dressing. Make sure to grate them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: This dressing is slightly sweet, but you can adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less honey or sugar.
  • Use the dressing on salads, vegetables, or tofu: This dressing is versatile and can be used on a variety of dishes. It's great on salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled tofu.
