I don't like eggplant, but your presentation is great.

Nicely done, and that looks like a cool plate, too. Did you sweat the eggplant like normal, or marinate in the soy?

Steamed it, then into a hot wok for a minute, then in with light & dark soy, oyster sauce, and honey.

That gives me a much better sense of texture. Thanks!

Next time I think I'll do the traditional salt n sweat it, was a bit too "eggplanty" for my tastes, if that makes sense.

It does! I like to call it "Overgine"
