Detailed Steps for Cooking Spicy Grilled Eggplant
Cut the long eggplant in half lengthwise and make crisscross cuts with a knife for better flavor absorption.
Brush oil on both sides of the eggplant, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and grill for 10 minutes.
While grilling, prepare the seasoning. Chop the garlic finely and slice the small spicy pepper (optional).
In a bowl, mix Maggi seasoning sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and oil.
Remove the eggplant from the oven and brush with the seasoning mixture.
Sprinkle with chili powder, Sichuan peppercorn powder, cumin powder, and chopped garlic.
Finally, add the small spicy pepper slices and return to the oven to grill at 180 degrees Celsius for 5-10 minutes.
Once grilled, sprinkle with chopped scallions or cilantro before serving.
