How to Make Roasted Eggplant Dip With Thai Flavors

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Let the eggplant cool completely to room temperature.
  6. Scoop out the flesh of the eggplant and place it in a food processor.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1-2 tablespoons of Thai chili paste (adjust to your spice preference), and the juice of 1 lime (or lemon).
  8. Pulse until a thick, coarse puree forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
  9. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  10. Serve at room temperature, garnished with extra cilantro leaves. Enjoy!
