GRILLED EGGPLANT THAI STYLE serves 3-4 as a vegetable side dish<\/p>\n

2 Japanese eggplants sliced about 1\/4 inch thick.<\/p>\n

4 tbsp soy sauce<\/p>\n

4 tbsp oyster sauce<\/p>\n

2 tbs fish sauce<\/p>\n

2 tbsp brown sugar,<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 tbsp fresh finely minced garlic<\/p>\n

1-2 tsp. chili sauce<\/p>\n

(to finish 2 tbsp white wine or sherry, a squeeze of lime juice, 1 tsp brown sugar)<\/p>\n

In a bowl mix together the soy sauce , oyster sauce, fish sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, garlic, and chili.\u00a0 Stir until the sugar dissolves.<\/p>\n

Wash and dry the eggplant.\u00a0 Slicing lengthwise, thinly cut the eggplant (about 1\/4 inch thick is good).<\/p>\n

Place the eggplant slices in a long, flat dish.\u00a0 pour the garlic sauce over the slices, turning them to cover the sauce.\u00a0 You may have to pile the slices on top of each other.<\/p>\n

Allow eggplant to marinate at least ten minutes, or up to 24 hours ahead of grilling time (cover and refrigerate for the longer period).<\/p>\n

Place the eggplant slices on a hot grill, allowing 5-10 minutes each side (this depends on hot thick the slices are), or until the eggplant has turned golden-brown and is soft when tested with a fork.<\/p>\n

While the eggplant is cooking, pour the remaining sauce from the bottom of the dish into a sauce pan.\u00a0 Place over medium heat, add a few tbsp. wine plus a good squeeze of lime juice and 1 tsp brown sugar.<\/p>\n

Bring to a near-boil, then reduce heat to minimum.\u00a0 Taste-test the sauce.\u00a0 It should be garlicky and slightly sweet.\u00a0 Add the sweetness according to your taste, adding up to 1 more tsp. sugar.\u00a0\u00a0 If you like it more garlicky, add a little more freshly chopped garlic.\u00a0 If it’s too salty for your taste, add another squeeze of lime juice.<\/p>\n

To serve, place eggplant on a platter, and either pour the sauce over, or serve it on the side.\u00a0 This eggplant goes well with rice or practically any dish you might be cooking up.\u00a0 Bon Appetit!!<\/p>\n

You might want to double this recipe it’s so delicious.\u00a0 The eggplant may\u00a0 absorb a\u00a0 lot of the sauce\u00a0 and it is nice to have the extra to pour over.<\/p>\n
