Eggplant and soy sauce side dish (가지나물)

www.maangchi.com/recipe/gaji-n...
Gaji-namul is a simple, delicious, everyday Korean side dish, meant to be eaten with other side dishes and rice.
It’s one of my favorites. I love the fresh taste, soft texture, and the beautiful vibrant purple color of the dish on the table. It's refreshing and goes well with oilier items to offset their texture and taste. I never get tired of it!
If you are a vegetarian, replace the fish sauce with soy sauce.

This channel has a very special place in my heart. And my stomach.

[@PP-wp2bx]

This one is so special since all the other eggplant dish is stir fried or fried in some way. Korean dishes are so uniquely healthy.

I moved from a city that had so many selections to eat Korean to a city with not much option. I saw this recipe and had everything to make this dish. It was super yummy. Love the combination of sesame oil and soy sauce. Yumm yummmm

[@marakyiya]

Same here 😫, went from living in a Korean settlement next to NYC, to staying in a small village in Bulgaria, where there’s no Asian food whatsoever 😬

[@JadenChristopher]

I love how clean you always clean and wash all your vegetables so well. Cooking is big in my family too, and my grandmother taught me to do that

[@ConnieCC58]

My mom used to make gaji namul when we were growing up (her parents were from Korea but she was born here). I have made it for years as well. This is the first time I’ve seen or heard of it anywhere else. However, we use vinegar instead of fish sauce (just enough vinegar mixed with the soy sauce to make it a little tangy).

[@brilliantlyCreative]

I am loving all of the kitchen tips like having a bowl of water to dip too hot fingers in, genius! This is the first time I have watched one of her videos, I will definitely be watching more.

안녕하세요 망치님 센트럴파크에서 한국어로 진행하신 인터뷰를 보다가 가지나물 레서피 이야기를 하시는걸 보았어요. 마침 정원에 심어둔 가지가 열매를 많이 맺어서 이걸 다 뭘 해먹지 하던 참이었거든요. 그래서 지금 막 만들어보았는데 정말 맛있습니다. 인터뷰에서도 이야기 하셨지만 이민으로 옛날맛 그대로를 가지고 계셔서 더 좋은것 같아요. 감사합니다.

[@raynmaker]

ever since i learned this recipe from you six years ago, it's my absolute favorite and i make it at least once a week! i love making a huge portion because eating cold leftover 가지나물 straight out of the fridge the next day is my guilty pleasure hehe

[@LaFlamande]

same here! It's been two and a half years only, but since then I made it numerous times. It is sooooo satisfying, and the taste stays with you for quite a while.

[@luia3911]

I made this dish for the second time, definitely do NOT want to over steam the eggplants, 5mins is enough. Because I can’t have rare garlic, I left the garlic out and added extra chopped shallots. It STILL delicious WITHOUT garlic 🙂👍👍 Thankyou so much for sharing this fantastic side dish recipe. Will continue to make it frequently 🙂 🇦🇺

Came back to revisit this recipe after finishing two bowls of steamed eggplsnts inspired by this recipe. Ran out of garlic and no pepper flakes. I heated vege oil then slightly fried the scallions before adding sesame seeds and oil. Also added a bit of salt and chicken powder along with seasoning sauce. Loved it.

[@indrajitgupta3280]

Aaah! Bliss. I took care to tear, not cut, the steamed eggplant, making sure that a greater surface was exposed to the seasoning. Used four pods of garlic, not three, taking a hint from Grandmama's broad hint! It worked. With Chow Mein, it was totally mind-blowing.

I love that this is steamed. Eggplants are like sponges and soak up a lot of oil.

[@alphafish4756]

Olias that won’t work well. What I found helps is that rub salt on them like a lot, then let it sit for an hour, then wash and squeeze them. They will barely soak up oil except a little!
