Hoisin Eggplant Cutlets Recipes

HOISIN EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Halve 3 Japanese eggplants lengthwise; brush all over with olive oil and season with salt. Grill 5 to 7 minutes per side, brushing with a mixture of 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1 to 2 teaspoons hot chili sauce. Top with chopped cilantro and sliced scallions.

SPICY HOISIN GLAZED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic and red chili flakes and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the hoisin, vinegar and soy sauce until combined and then strain, reserving the sauce.
• Heat grill to high.
• Brush eggplant slices on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the slices on the grill and grill until golden brown and slighty charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Brush with some of the glaze, turn over and continue grilling just until cooked through, brushing with more of the glaze, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and brush with the remaining glaze. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the cilantro.

Rinse the salt off of the eggplant cutlets and place them in the sauce, flipping them over a couple of times to coat completely. 3. Bake for 15 min flip, and bake for an add'l 5-10 min or until a fork can easily pass through the cutlets. Serve immediately or cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.
