Recipes Vegetarian Main course

Although I love Asian food, I found it difficult to make it at home. It seemed quite difficult to recreate these combinations of flavors. Quite a challenge! But with four different Asian sauces: sambal, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame sauce, you can really imagine yourself in Asian spheres.

Eggplants with rice and Asian sauces

Wash the aubergines, cut the crown off and cut into four slices by aubergine over the length. Grill for about 30 minutes (note: baking time can vary per oven) at 200 degrees.
Finely chop the two spring ons and do the same with the shallot. Put the olive oil in a small pan and warm up. Then add half of the spring onion (keep the other half separate) and the shallot. Mix with a spoon. Also add the garlic, the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame sauce and sambal. Put on and let it bubble on low heat for about 5 minutes. Don't let the sauce go too fast; Otherwise, turn the heat even softer.
Kook The rice. I always use a small jar and then do 1 game of rice and 1.5 jar of water. Bring this to the kook Until the rice is cooked.
Serve the rice. Place the aubergines on this. Use a spoon to distribute the sauce over the aubergines. Garnish with the other spring onions and possibly some sesame seeds. Enjoy!
