LIANG BAN QIE ZI (EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC, GINGER AND SCALLIONS)



Liang Ban Qie Zi (Eggplant With Garlic, Ginger and Scallions) image

The Shanghainese dish of seasoned and steamed eggplant is typically served cold, but this version can also be eaten warm or at room temperature. Steaming eggplant is a revelation - it brings out the vegetable's gentle, earthy flavor and creates an astonishingly silky, light texture that soaks up sauces efficiently. Here, the eggplant is topped with an aromatic mix of garlic, ginger and scallions, which release their intoxicating fragrance when hot oil is poured over. Regular globe eggplant is fine, and long Japanese or Chinese eggplant works just as well (use the same weight). A steamer insert, bamboo steamer or stainless steel trivet is a smart investment that makes steaming in a wide, deep skillet simple, but you can also use stainless steel cookie cutters or balls of aluminum foil. Use tamari in place of soy sauce for an easy gluten-free substitution.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds eggplant (1 large), base and stem trimmed
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon black vinegar (such as Chinkiang vinegar)
1 tablespoon chile crisp or chile oil (preferably one that contains Sichuan peppercorns)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
2 scallions, trimmed, white and green parts finely sliced
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
3 tablespoons neutral oil such as canola or grapeseed
Rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Set up a wide, deep skillet or wok with a steamer insert, bamboo steamer or stainless steel trivet (see Tip). Find a heatproof plate that fits into your cooking vessel. Add about 1 to 2 inches of water (making sure it won't touch the bottom of the plate), cover with a lid (or sheet pan or aluminum foil) that fully encloses the steamer, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, slice the eggplant into ½-inch-thick circles, then slice each disk into ½-inch strips. Arrange the eggplant pieces on the heatproof plate, stacking them but leaving some gaps to allow the steam to reach all sides of the eggplant.
  • Carefully place the plate of eggplant into the steamer insert or bamboo steamer, or on top of the trivet. Cover and steam for 9 to12 minutes, until the flesh is easily pierced with a fork, but still firm enough to hold its shape. Carefully transfer the eggplant to a colander set in the sink to cool and drain.
  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, black vinegar, chile crisp and granulated sugar.
  • When the eggplant is cool to the touch, transfer it to a shallow serving bowl or a rimmed plate. Pile the garlic, scallions and ginger in the center of the eggplant; don't scatter.
  • In a small pan, heat the oil on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes; the oil is hot enough if it bubbles when a wooden chopstick or spoon is inserted. Very carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger, garlic and scallions; it will sizzle and become very fragrant.
  • Pour the soy sauce mixture over the eggplant. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold, with rice.

STEAMED JASMINE RICE WITH GRILLED EGGPLANT SALAD



Steamed Jasmine Rice With Grilled Eggplant Salad image

This dish is adapted from a grilled eggplant salad recipe in Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid's wonderful book "Seductions of Rice" (Artisan, New York). Jasmine rice is an aromatic, soft, long-grain rice widely used in Thailand. The Thai dishes that employ fragrant rice are also well seasoned, so this rice is traditionally cooked without salt. I like to use my panini grill for grilling eggplant.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup Thai jasmine rice
Water
Salt to taste optional
1 1/2 pounds long, thin Japanese eggplants, or 1 large globe eggplant, sliced about 1/4 inch thick slice on the diagonal if using long, thin eggplants
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large plum tomato, diced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 to 1 serrano or bird chile, to taste, finely minced

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a bowl, cover with water and swirl the rice around. Drain and repeat this step two or three more times until the water runs clear. Drain, place the rice in a medium-sized, heavy saucepan, and add enough water to cover the rice by a little more than 1/2 inch. (Measure by placing the tip of your index finger on the surface of the rice; the water should come to just below the first joint.) Add salt if desired, and bring to a boil. Allow the water to boil hard for about 15 seconds, then reduce the heat, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  • Turn off the heat, and leave the lid on the rice. Let stand for five to ten minutes. Remove the lid, and gently turn the rice with a paddle to bring the rice up from the bottom of the pot. Return the lid, and let stand while you prepare the eggplant.
  • Heat a panini grill to high, or prepare a hot grill. Brush the eggplant slices with canola oil. Grill for three to four minutes in the panini grill (five to eight minutes per side on a regular grill) until the slices are slightly browned and tender all the way through. As each batch is done, remove to a bowl. When all of the eggplant has been grilled, cover the bowl tightly and allow the eggplant to steam and eventually to cool.
  • Coarsely chop the eggplant, and toss together with the herbs and diced tomato. Mix together the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and chile. Toss with the eggplant mixture. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to an hour, then taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Place the rice on a platter or on individual plates, top with the eggplant mixture and serve.
