Steps:
- Trim, slice lengthwise, and score eggplant in a cross-hatch pattern. Sprinkle with salt on the cut side and lay on a baking sheet, cut side up, to rest for 20 minutes.
- Heat a charcoal grill. In a large bowl, whisk together the fermented chili, rice vinegar, soy sauce and olive oil. Set aside.
- Brush eggplant with olive oil and place on the grill, cut side down. Grill over direct heat for several minutes, moving it around, to give it a nice color. Then move it to the perimeter of the grill, so it continues to bake, about 5 more minutes.
- Remove eggplant from the grill, cut into 2-inch pieces and place in the marinade while it's still warm. Then, place in a serving bowl to cool to room temperature. Thinly slice scallion on a bias and sprinkle on top of the eggplant. Using scissors, thinly cut mint and add on top of eggplant followed by bonito flakes.
