Hunan Spicy Eggplant
This vegan eggplant dish comes from Hunan, a landlocked province in southern China in the middle reaches of the Yangtze watershed. Their cuisine is known for its spicy flavors and fresh aromas. You can’t ask for a better compliment to eggplants’ mild and water-rich flavors than the warm, spicy sauce packed with umami. It’s very satisfying as an appetizer, side, or with rice to make a main dish.
