Ingredients

4 medium eggplants
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 medium white onions, chopped
¼ cup light soy sauce
⅛ cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Steps:

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add eggplant, cover, and steam until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
Peel eggplant and dice; transfer to a bowl. Add tomatoes, onions, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and ginger. Stir in chile pepper and garlic; mix all together well.
Chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold.
