Vietnam Charred Aubergine with a Spring Onion and Chili Dressing


This recipe was taken from centuries old cooking techniques and when possible applied modern cooking methods and/or ingredients.  It uses Asian cooking styles, Asian Spices, Asian Sauces and Asian Ingredients.  The style of cooking may have a slight alteration while still maintaining the dish's overall purpose.  In this blog we touch on recipes that may be predominant for the Chinese Cuisines.  We will also share recipes based upon country, or regions such as: Burma, Cambodia, Indian, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet and Vietnam.  Some cuisines are considered South Asian, South East Asian, Central Asian and/or Middle Eastern and may not be strictly connected to a specific country or culture.

Recipe Makes for 4 Servings:

2 aubergines (eggplants)

2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil

2 spring onions, finely sliced

1 tbsp fish sauce

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

salt

1 tbsp roasted peanuts, crushed

Directions:

Place the aubergines over a barbecue or under a hot grill (broiler) or directly over a gas flame, and, turning them, cook until soft when pressed. Put them into a plastic bag to sweat for 1 minute.

Holding the aubergines by the stalks, carefully peel off the skin under cold running water. Squeeze the excess water from the peeled flesh, remove the stalk and pull the flesh apart in long strips. Place these strips in a serving dish.

Heat the oil in a small pan and quickly stir in the spring onions. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chilies, fish sauce, basil leaves and a little salt to taste. Pour this dressing over the aubergines, toss gently and sprinkle the peanuts over the top.


Serve at room temperature and add some chilies if you want more fire.
