Steamed Eggplant with Chili Crisp and Soy Black Vinegar Sauce
Steaming
This recipe for steamed eggplant requires minimal preparation, just a quick soak in water with some vinegar to remove any bitterness and help the eggplant hold its shape. Then the sauce ingredients are assembled and poured over the eggplant and cooked in the Steam mode until tender. The eggplant absorbs the flavors of the sauce and is finished with just a light drizzle of sesame oil for added flavor.
Ingredients
Eggplant
1lb Chinese or Japanese eggplant, (3 - 4), chopped into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup of white vinegar
Water to cover
Sauce
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp black vinegar
2 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp chili crisp or chili sauce
Topping
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, finely chopped
Sesame oil for drizzling
Preparation
Heat the oven in the Convection Steam mode 212°F.
Place the eggplant in a large bowl, add water to cover, and stir in the vinegar. Set aside for 3 - 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands.
Place the eggplant in an oven-proof cooking container. Combine the sauce ingredients and pour over the eggplant. Top with the minced garlic and scallions and a light drizzle of sesame oil.
Cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
Serves 4 - 6

Steamed Snap Pea and Asparagus Salad with Radish
In this recipe both the snap peas and asparagus cook for the same amount of time so they can be combined and cooked in the perforated pan that comes with the oven. For a heartier salad some quinoa can be steamed at the same time and combined with the cooked vegetables and dressing.
