STEAMED EGGPLANT AND MUSHROOMS WITH PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with about 1 inch water; bring to a boil. Add eggplant and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium-high; cover, and steam until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make sauce: Place peanut butter in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in vinegar, then add soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth and combined. (Alternatively, combine everything in a blender and puree until smooth.)
- With a slotted spoon, transfer steamed eggplant and mushrooms to a large bowl. Add scallions and peanut sauce; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, over rice if desired.
STEAMED EGGPLANT
This salty savory banchan (side dish) is traditionally served chilled, making it a perfect vegetable side dish with a bowl of rice. The Japanese eggplant in this recipe is steamed and softened just enough and tossed and soaked in a slightly salty, garlicky, spicy sauce. The hint of saltiness from the fish sauce and hint of both sweetness and bitterness from the eggplant make this dish such a great pairing.

Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, 1/3 cup water, soy sauce, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, sambal olek and garlic.

(Alternatively, you can wrap the eggplants individually in parchment and microwave until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.) Halve eggplants lengthwise.
- Transfer eggplants to a platter, cut side up. Spoon peanut sauce over eggplant. Garnish with peanuts and scallions.
