Spicy Chinese Eggplant

Eggplant was made for the microwave. Slow heat gently steams it and locks in moisture, turning it tender and creamy. This classic Chinese preparation uses a medley of sauces that features black vinegar. Made from fermented black sticky rice, this malty, smoky condiment adds a complexity that completely transforms the eggplant’s mild flavor.
