Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Simple and delicious. I have never had steamed aubergines before. It has such a silky soft texture. A perfect dish for summer.

    Lovely dish. Steamed eggplant has such a great texture, and the hot oil technique is perfect here.

    Delicious! Really silky and fragrant. I have a very savoury palate and I also didn't see any need for extra salt.

    Very easy and delicious. I found that the addition of soy sauce precluded the need for salt.

    Agreed with krista_jo that it's very easy and delicious. I loved the coolness on a hot summer day, too. Only change I'd make is to add more soy or some salt. I added some to my plate and that perked it right up! It might have been just my soy sauce, but something to watch for.

    Easy and delicious. The hot oil gives it a nice smoky flavour.
