"I tried this recipe yesterday and was really pleased with it. I served it as a side dish with grilled Asian chicken and jasmine rice. It was delicious! As an alternative, add 1/2 cup of cubed mangoes and replace green onions with fresh cilantro."

Very good, and simple to prepare, pleasantly spicy and aromatic. I did add the hot pepper, for a nice tang! A nice way to ring the changes with eggplant! Served with basmati rice for a light supper, thank you, Sushi baby. Made for PAC Spring 2009
