This is actually not an exaggeration. My boyfriend grew up with a very limited Western palate and had a hard time getting used to eating vegetables, especially the more "exotic" ones. But gaji namul is one of those dishes he immediately loved before even thinking to ask what those weird purple squishy strands even are :'D (Also, happy ending: he enjoys a wide variety of veggies and cuisines by now... Korean cooking will do that to you ;))

[@MzMaverick.]

@@durchschnitte My struggle is getting people to eat veggies lol. I'm from the states but lived abroad as a military kid and then joined myself and continued my travel. So your story gives me hope that i'll find my type of people who want to try veg! I grew up with it!

[@durchschnitte]

@@MzMaverick. Yeah I feel you! As a tip from what I found: most people who don't like veggies grew up with very boring, underseasoned, overcooked, steamed or boiled versions... which really hardly anyone is a fan of haha. Often it's all about how you prepare the vegetable. You can really blow somebody's mind with a nicely roasted, well seasoned broccoli or some aubergine with a killer dressing like Koreans do it. Fun fact - same goes for tofu :D

Bro, I grew up in Northern Wisconsin and never tried an avocado until I moved to Colorado at 21yo... it was 2011, and I wasn't just Googling everything I didn't know yet. I tried eating that bad boy rock hard. As I tried to cut into it I look at my roommate, who moved with me from Wisconsin, and asked if they were supposed to like bowling ball texture. He just says idk I think I have only had guacamole once, and I have never seen anyone just eat an avocado like that. I laugh at this situation often when I have avocado.

[@Boogeyman1435]

Eggplant is awesome. It just absorbs all of the flavors of everything else

[@michellemcintyre1147]

I'm trying this as soon as possible, I LOVE eggplant! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@AaronandClaire]

Thank you for watching!! Hope it turns out amazing 😍

[@michellemcintyre1147]

I've never had any of your recipes be anything other than delicious!

[@tiffa2305]

I was never the cook type of person but lately I've been enjoying cooking because of your recipes. not only because your recipes are easy to follow but also your reassurance that the dishes can still taste great even with alternative ingredients.. "Don't worry about it!" 😂 now sesame oil and green onion became a staple in my kitchen. Thanks Aaron and Claire ❤

[@NiekeAkosah-jv5ft]

The Indonesian version is called balado terong (terong = eggplant), and much easier to make with 3 ingredients : chillies, onions/shallots and bit of garlic. Roughly blend/mash the 3 spices and fry before mixing with the steamed eggplants

[@MarteaniArt]

I made this last night and it was incredible. It was even better today. I used to buy the smallest bottle of fish sauce because I didn't know what to use it in and now I'm using it all the time. It really does add so much flavor!

[@michellehanson984]

This looks amazing! I love Claire's idea to make it as a rice bowl

[@Unforgettable0219]

I love any dishes with eggplants, and this recipe will surely be my new favorite, thank you!

[@DapurBiru]

Love eggplants ❤

[@vso8247]

For a super quick version u can actually “steam” it in the microwave

[@kuenoklee543]

Delicious- I tried it with baby eggplants (non Asian) and it still turned out great. I have your book and it’s been a game changer for me - I cook the seaweed soup and other dishes in regular. The recipes are so approachable

[@PandoraEast]

just made it - such a great recipe. Straight forward, easy. Added to the family recipe book.

[@JaylaMcclenan]

You have help me cook lots of food like Korean corndog, Korea, spicy chicken and lots of more other things and I’m only 13 years old. My mom is very impressed. How good I can cook.🙏🏽💞ty

[@odie4254]

Tqvm Aaron for sharing your speciality simple egg plant dish. I’ll prepare this dish soon.

[@ChaitenPancholi]

Many Many thanks chef for sharing your recipe with yummy, tasty and delicious food. You are great Chef.

[@hockeymom3127]

This is hands down probably my most favorite banchan. So delicious

[@historyhomesandancestry3182]

This is the most delicious eggplant I have ever had. It's addictive!! Seriously, I have had eggplant in many different dishes and this is the best, hands down. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

[@moonlightpaw5868]

You are awesome. Keep up with making this simple dish that everybody can cook.

[@mookyyzed2216]

Finally pulled the trigger and bought your cookbook. Can't wait to try out all your dishes!

[@AaronandClaire]

Thank you so much for your support! I’m so excited for you to try out all the dishes! 😍

[@ratnacook56]

I used hot chili for this dish, turn out pretty good and fry chopped garlic, chili and last green onion very quick I dont to eat raw garlic but love cooked garlic. then pour with the rest the sauce in the bowl is so good. thanks for sharing Aaron.

[@DavyDave123]

That sauce is awesome! Hot day here so I grilled the eggplant outside and it turned out great!

[@jenerhart7025]

This looks yummy even though I am not a fan of eggplant. Would this work with raw or lightly steamed zucchini?

[@AaronandClaire]

Definitely! I’d suggest lightly sautéing the zucchini for the best flavor and texture! 😍

[@aijel1028]

I love eggplant, so I'm gonna make this!

[@CK.Stellata]

I love eggplants, can’t wait to try this!!

[@AaronandClaire]

I can't wait for you to try it! Let me know how it turns out! 😍

[@mimilee417]

Thanks for recipes i will trying next week. ❤❤❤❤

[@Arugula100]

This is a great vegan Eggplant recipe. I love that you steam it. I am going to try it.

[@popgas3821]

Claire saying "it's calling my name" is really cute 😂❤

[@sharonblythe3807]

Love your channel, do you have ebook of your cookbook?

[@skizbees]

This looks great! 😋

[@nhango7942]

Look delicious, thanks for sharing 👍

[@ManeeshaKP]

I hav some extra eggplant lying here & was wondering what to do this time, coz last week I stir fried & didn't want to repeat. Definitely gonna try this method. This is not a vegetable I like that much, so I'm still in 2 minds whether I should be steaming them. Wasn't an option I had imagined 😂

[@ranjanachand9306]

Looks delicious

[@Miguel-ej4ib]

I don't have a steamer basket but I recently bought a bamboo steamer. Would that still work? For how long would I have to steam there? Thank you for the great recipes Aaron and Claire, my family loves the Mapo Tofu :-)

[@morrismonet3554]

Red chili is NEVER optional! LOL. Everything is in my garden so I will be making it soon.

[@bonniepwtf]

I really enjoy eggplant 🍆 & you are right, it looks delicious. Hope you guys have a great weekend, happy Friday🎉

[@AaronandClaire]

Wishing you a fantastic weekend too. Happy Friday! 🥰

[@neelam507]

Looks awesome 👌👍⭐️😋🙏🇬🇧 from London ❤

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

Loved your peanut butter noodles. This one is next.

[@AaronandClaire]

Thank you!! 😍

[@ChloeDReid]

dunno if you will see this but is there any replacement in your recipes for chicken bouillon powder? my country does not have this. love the videos

[@geraldinelamboley5957]

Just a little of chicken broth or more soy sauce should work

[@ChloeDReid]

@@geraldinelamboley5957 it feels like broth isnt strong enough. ive considered cooking my rice in broth instead

[@noormohamed2991]

Excellent 🎉

[@normajacob9744]

Delicious love it. Let's eat

[@zizio960]

I will try it cs i have so.e eggplant

[@rokkenshin928]

Perfect chef & his taster better half. ❤🎉😊

[@DavyNZ]

How could anyone ever hate eggplant? 🍆 we also need a recipe to showcase cucumber 🥒

[@MTMF.london]

Actually the same sauce would work well on smashed cucumber. Just lightly smash cucumber large cubes and douse with sauce - done!

[@JohnSteill]

It's GOOOOD. I have a happy wife. Cookbook ordered, subscribed, etc etc. Cheers!

[@AaronandClaire]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy the boo!😍

[@utkbyuca89]

My favorite ❤

[@MsJankleina]

Incredibly delicious 😍😍😍😍 Try not to eat the whole batch in one sitting! 😍😋

[@jh9304]

Can you use any kind of eggplant, or only this specific kind??

[@AaronandClaire]

You can use any kind of eggplant. Korean/Asian eggplants are great for their tender skin and mild flavor, but American or Italian eggplants work well too! Hope you enjoy experimenting with this! 😍

[@ChaklitTea]

Its the sesame oil and garlic for me 😋

[@yentl]

Can you make a video with staple ingredients we should have in our pantry?

[@AaronandClaire]

Thank you for your great suggestion! We actually made a video on that topic, and it’s called ‘11 Pantry Essentials for Korean Cooking.” Although there’re some changes, it covers many of the key ingredients, so I’m sure you will find it helpful. I’ll share the link down below. Hope you enjoy it! 😍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoKunZ2waZuXoKM

[@debipowell9509]

Can I use regular chili pepper flakes or crushed cayenne pepper, our is it important to find Korean Chili Pepper Flakes?

[@husnulcute2567]

If you come to my country Indonesia, you will get a really really spicy eggplant dishes 😊😊

[@winnieang7110]

Is anchovy same as fish sauce ?

[@tktyga77]

These brinjals sure could be nice fermented as well

[@harism5589]

Raw Chilis in the sauce! Real punch for western watchers!!

[@Bob-b7x6v]

Does this dressing work with zucchini?

[@tennisballbirdrealreal]

WHEN THE NIGHT CRAWLS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jonashotger4456]

Is this supposed to be served hot or cold? Mine were a little cold after I mixed with the sauce, so I was wobdering if I worked a little slowly...

[@hayatnamal1155]

Nice 👍

[@michaelooi9848]

Did a double take when I heard ‘If you want to avoid any SPIES, you can use red bell peppers instead…’ 😅

[@Bob-b7x6v]

Eggplant is a tasty Nightshade...

[@evanielisgrissom2982]

Egg plant is the best vegetable

[@madamenordica]

Sounds like a cool hardass Mom that might be a GenXer......we luv Mom.....

[@EbonRaven]

Idle brain thinking right now... I wonder if this would work with zucchini. If you cook the zucchini the same way, it's got a similar texture to the eggplant... I've got a pile of zucchini to spare at the moment, maybe I'll try it tomorrow. :)

[@AaronandClaire]

That sounds like a fantastic idea! Can't wait for you to try it! :)

[@EbonRaven]

@@AaronandClaire I tried it tonight with dinner. I roasted the zucchini in the oven, and got some really nice, deep caramelization. I'd like a little more next time, and I think the zucchini needs bigger pieces, since really small ones turn too soft. But the flavor was absolutely wonderful and I ate all of what I made. (I only made one serving, just in case it didn't turn out well.) Thank you again! I really appreciate the tasty recipe.

[@AaronandClaire]

Thanks for the update! Awesome to hear it!

[@marinalo3327]

Are there any dishes you don’t like?

[@AaronandClaire]

Yes I have some, but that's top secret! 🤣

[@MzMaverick.]

Steamed eggplant? I've never thought to steam it. Every fiber of me is telling me to saute it😅

[@AaronandClaire]

Trust me! You will absolutely love it! 😍

[@kathiemathias212]

You can grill it too. This is to make it easier to peel the skin off. Then flatten it for fried egg omelet (pinch of salt added ). You’ll be hooked.

[@djlovesmusic]

So, it’s served cold? Looks great, but I think I’d want to eat it warm.

[@jemmawhitehouse1043]

Yaaaaay aubergine 🍆 ♥️

Imagine being allergic to fish sauce. What a horrible thought Dx

My mom is allergic to all fish. She was born with the allergy, so she dosn't know what she's missing. 😂

I THINK HE IS SAYING SPICE NOT SPIES

[@merliebiggs4199]

Oh will! No one is perfect.

[@johncrabb806]

The eggplants at my grocery store don't look like that. Does that matter?

[@AaronandClaire]

It doesn’t really matter. Although Korean/Asian eggplants are great for their tender skin and mild flavor, American or Italian eggplants work well too! Hope you enjoy experimenting with this! 😍
