By Rhonda Parkinson, About.com

The key ingredient in the dressing is red rice vinegar, available at Asian makrets. This steamed eggplant recipe serves 4 to 6

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 Asian eggplants
  • 2 tablespoons red rice vinegar (note: not red wine vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as canola
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Preparation:

Remove the stalk from the eggplants. Cut in the middle and then cut each half lengthwise so that you have 4 equal pieces.
