"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Chinese Eggplant Steaks

 

Ingredients

1 lb eggplant
1 salt
1 tbsp olive oil
2 each garlic cloves, chopped
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp oriental sesame oil
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp toasted pine nuts
1 each green onion, finely chopped



 

Preparation

At least one hour before serving, prepare eggplant: Trim and discard
ends of eggplant. Cut crosswise diagonally into eight 1/2" thick
slices. Sprinkle both sides of slices lightly with salt; place in
colander and set aside 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare marinade. In small skillet, heat oil over medium
heat. Add garlic and saute until golden. Add soy sauce, vinegar,
sesame oil, sugar and pepper. Cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and
spread in large shallow baking pan or jelly-roll pan.

Rinse eggplant slices and pat dry. Place slices in pan with marinade,
turning to season both sides; set aside at least 20 minutes or up to 2
hours.

Heat broiler. Drain marinade from pan; reserve. Broil eggplant
slices 3" from heat source until lightly browned; turn to brown other
side. Transfer to serving plate and top with pine nuts and green
onions. Reheat marinade, pour over eggplant and serve.
