Gaji namul

Gaji namul is a traditional side dish originating from South Korea. This type of namul is prepared with a combination of eggplants, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. The eggplants are cut into quarters lengthwise, steamed until slightly soft, then cooled and mixed with the remaining ingredients. Once done, gaji namul is traditionally served as a side dish that's meant to be eaten with other sides or with rice.
