Vegan Unagi made from eggplant is extra scrumptious! I used to not appreciate eggplant when I was a kid, but as I grow older, I just can't live without it. Dishes like Yong Tau Foo (stuffed tofu but can be made with a lot of vegetables variety - a delicacy not to be missed when I visit home), Yu Xiang Qie Zi, Nasu Dengaku, Di San Xian, or serve as cold appetizers like banchan or with vinegary sauce - ooh so versatile, isn't it?⁣ ⁣ Full recipe instructions - link in bio ⁣ or https://woonheng.com/vegan-unagi-eggplant/⁣ or search vegan unagi eggplant on woonheng.com⁣ ⁣ Cooking notes:⁣ - If you don't have a steamer, don't worry, you can wrap in a foil, then bake until tender or check out my other ways to cook the eggplant on my blog⁣ - The sauce is the same one that I used for my vegan salmon bowl but you can also use the vegan unagi made from tofu and potato sauce⁣ - If you are not a fan of eggplant and miss the unagi, google 'woonheng vegan unagi eel'⁣ - and if you are an eggplant fan and love to buy them in bulk when they are on sale, try this recipe. I usually prep them ahead of time, steam, then cut open and store them in a container. When ready, I will then sear and baste it with sauce. ⁣ ⁣ Other eggplant recipes to try from my blog⁣ - Yu Xiang Qie Zi (Spicy Garlic Eggplant)⁣ - Easy Dou Ban Jiang (Fermented bean sauce) Eggplant⁣ - Stuffed Eggplant with vegan pork⁣ - Air-fried eggplant with tomato⁣ ⁣ I hope you enjoy your long weekend and stay safe and healthy.
