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.

    Can substitute tamari for soy sauce. See recipe for Asian herb suggestions.

    We loved this salad. I used a combination of fairy tale and Asian eggplant and didn't cut them into batons, as they were already small. I used Thai Basil, cilantro and mint. Next time, maybe use less, or no, brown sugar in the Nearly Nuoc Cham.

    An easy and sparklingly fresh dish — as anything with this much herbs and nuóc ch?m is bound to be. I like the technique of broiling the eggplant, which can be done while everything else is prepped. I used fish-sauce-based nuóc ch?m and added a small block of tofu for a more complete light meal.

    Delicious summer dinner! I roasted the eggplant for 30 minutes at 420 degrees instead of broiling it.

    This is just fabulous and comes together quite nicely. Used cilantro and mint for herbs, would love to try with others suggested.
