In reply to Heidi. Thank you Heidi! That Asian glaze is everything. You can also make this recipe with a Western globe eggplant- it's just as delicious grilled but you will need to slice it.

I mostly followed the recipe but added Ning Chi garlic with chili because I had no peppers. it turned out really well, though a little spicy.

I put a little oil on the cut side, grilled it, flipped it, cut hash marked in the grilled side (now up) and filled them with the ginger garlic soy mixture. yum.

In reply to Eha Carr. Thank you Eha! These long slim ones are the Asian eggplant variety. You can substitute regular Western type eggplant (aubergine) for this recipe as well. The Asian eggplant variety can be found out Asian markets and are naturally sweet and have very few seeds. Stay well and take care

Absolutely moreish offering ! In Australia we can naturally buy eggplant all year around but I have never sighted such long slim ones. Have prepared them in a similar manner but without the use of maple syrup which is not as common an ingredient here. Shall certainly take this recipe into the kitchen !!!

In reply to Tamara Andersen. Thanks Tamara. You can also use the Western eggplant but we love the Asian eggplants as they have less seeds. Hoping the farmer's market will open near us soon too. Take Care

I love all the helpful information for grilling Asian eggplants! I wish we could get them more often, but I'll try the farmers market. Of course the ginger sesame chili glaze sounds fantastic with them. I'm looking forward to getting this on the grill soon!
