Hoisin Eggplant Cutlets Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic and red chili flakes and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the hoisin, vinegar and soy sauce until combined and then strain, reserving the sauce.
• Heat grill to high.
• Brush eggplant slices on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the slices on the grill and grill until golden brown and slighty charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Brush with some of the glaze, turn over and continue grilling just until cooked through, brushing with more of the glaze, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and brush with the remaining glaze. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the cilantro.

Steps:

• Halve 3 Japanese eggplants lengthwise; brush all over with olive oil and season with salt. Grill 5 to 7 minutes per side, brushing with a mixture of 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1 to 2 teaspoons hot chili sauce. Top with chopped cilantro and sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Slice a bit off the skin side of the eggplant so they lie flat, and score both sides in a criss-cross pattern.
• Heat your grill to medium.
• Combine hoisin and oil, and whisk vigorously, set aside.
• Brush both sides of your eggplant halves with 1/2 tablespoon oil, and season with salt.
• Grilled until charred and tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
• With a brush, generously coat both sides of eggplant with the reserved hoisin/oil mixture.
• Return eggplant to grill and allow to glaze 1 minute per side, no more, as it will burn.
• Serve immediately!
• ENJOY!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350*. Slice the eggplants into 1/2 in thick rounds. Sprinkle them with salt and allow them to sit for a few min while you make the sauce. 2. Place all of the hoisin sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a casserole dish or baking tray. Rinse the salt off of the eggplant cutlets and place them in the sauce, flipping them over a couple of times to coat completely. 3. Bake for 15 min flip, and bake for an add'l 5-10 min or until a fork can easily pass through the cutlets. Serve immediately or cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. In small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce and 1 tablespoon oil; set aside.
• Halve eggplants lengthwise; slice a bit off the skin side so they lie flat, and score both sides in a crisscross pattern.
• Brush both sides of eggplant halves with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt. Grill until charred and tender, 4 to 7 minutes per side. Brush both sides generously with reserved hoisin mixture; grill each side again just to glaze, about 1 minute per side. Serve hot.
