Grilled Eggplant Salad

Ingredients
Directions
Ingredients
¾ c
vegetable oil

2 oz
shallots, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced lengthwise

1 ½ c
unsweetened full-fat coconut milk

2 tbsp
cornstarch

¼ c
fresh lime juice

1 ½ tsp
granulated sugar

Salt

6
Thai long, green, or Japanese purple eggplants (no substitutes), halved
lengthwise

1 tbsp
red pepper flakes

½ c
unsalted roasted cashews, coarsely chopped

¼ c
coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and stems

¼ c
fresh mint leaves

Cooked jasmine rice, for serving



In Southeast Asia, long, slender, light green eggplants are the most common
variety and are the best choice for this recipe. They require little
preparation, don’t need to be salted to extract bitterness, and don’t even need
to be peeled. Just throw them on the grill whole and cook them until they are
charred on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside—a perfect canvas on
which to paint a colorful combination of flavors and textures. The coconut
milk–based dressing used here reinforces the creaminess of the grilled
eggplants, while the crisp shallots and crunchy cashews provide contrasting
texture. There’s so much flavor in this satisfying dish that guests may not even
notice that yam ma-khuea yao is meat-free.

In the West, purple Japanese eggplants are the perfect substitute for Thai long,
green ones, which aren’t available in most areas.


DIRECTIONS

 1. Line a small plate with a paper towel. In a small frying pan, combine the
    oil and shallots, place over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until
    the shallots are crisp and golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted
    spoon, transfer the shallots to the towel-lined plate and let cool. Reserve
    the shallot oil for another use.
 2. Light a chimney full of charcoal. When the coals are ready, spread them out
    on the bottom of a hibachi or small kettle grill for cooking over medium
    fire (350°F).
 3. Meanwhile, make the dressing: In a 1-quart saucepan, whisk together the
    coconut milk and cornstarch, then place over medium heat and bring to a
    boil, whisking constantly. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove
    from the heat and let cool to lukewarm. Stir in the lime juice and sugar,
    then taste and add salt. Aim for a dressing that’s equally sour, sweet, and
    salty. Set aside.
 4. When the coals are covered with white ash and the grate is hot, grill the
    eggplant all over, flipping them as needed, until charred and a fork slid
    into the flesh meets no resistance. Transfer to a cutting board.
 5. When the eggplants are cool enough to handle, cut them crosswise into
    1-inch-thick pieces and arrange the pieces on a platter. Drizzle the pieces
    with the dressing and sprinkle with the crisp shallots, followed by the
    pepper flakes, cashews, and cilantro. Sprinkle the mint leaves over the top.
    Serve immediately with the rice.
