Ingredients




For the eggplant burgers (qiezi he):
1/2 lb (225 g) ground pork
1 lb Japanese (smaller) eggplants (approx. 2 eggplants)
2 green onions, diced small
1 Tablespoon ginger, minced
2 Tablespoons of gluten-free tamari sauce or coconut aminos (30 ml)
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
For the dipping sauce:
4 cloves of garlic, minced
4 Tablespoons of gluten-free tamari sauce or coconut aminos (60 ml)
1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vinegar (apple cider, white wine)

Preparation

1 Cut the eggplants into 1-inch thick slices.  Then make a small cut through them to form “burger buns” that are still joined together. 2 Mix the ground pork, green onions, ginger, tamari sauce, salt, and pepper together.  Stuff this meat mixture into the “buns.” 3 Steam for 20 minutes. 4 To make the dipping sauce, mix together the garlic, tamari sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar in a small bowl. 5 Serve the cooked eggplant burgers with the dipping sauce.
