  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6               cups  eggplant -- 1 -inch cubes (about 3 Chinese or 2 American eggplants)
  2          teaspoons  sea salt
  2        tablespoons  toasted sesame oil
  10            cloves  garlic -- pressed or minced
     1/2                chile pepper -- seeded and minced, optional
  1         tablespoon  soy sauce -- or to taste
  1         tablespoon  rice vinegar
  3        tablespoons  diced green onion
Place the cubed eggplant in a casserole dish and sprinkle with salt. After
10 to 15 minutes, remove the eggplant, place in a colander, and rinse
well.
When the eggplant is ready, place the oil in a large saute pan over
medium-high heat, add the garlic, and chile pepper, if using, and cook for
2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the eggplant and cook until tender,
approximately 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the remaining
ingredients, mix well, and enjoy!
Serves 4, as a side dish
Chinese eggplants are thinner and longer than their American counterparts
and have a thinner skin. You can find them at Asian markets and sometimes
in your local super-market. Both varieties are awesome in this dish. Serve
alongside Orange-Glazed Tofu (page 121), Seitan with Black Bean Sauce
(page 118), or Kung Pao Tempeh (page 123).
Chefs' Tips and Tricks: Sprinkling the eggplant with salt and allowing it
to sit for a period of time is called "sweating the eggplant" (not a very
appetizing term!). After a few minutes, little water beads start to form,
which remove the bitterness. Rinsing the eggplant well washes off most of
the salt.
