    Gaji-namul is a simple, delicious, everyday Korean side dish, meant
    to be eaten with other side dishes and rice. It's one of my
    favorites. I love the fresh taste, soft texture, and the beautiful
    vibrant purple color of the dish on the table. It's refreshing and
    goes well with oilier items too.

    Prepare your steamer by adding 2 cups of water to it. Set heat to
    medium-high for it to boil, it shoud take about 5 minutes.

    Meanwhile, cut eggplants crosswise into 2-1/2" pieces. Cut the thicker
    pieces in half lengthwise.

    When the water starts boiling, put the eggplants on the steamer rack
    and cover. Steam for 5 minutes over medium high heat.

    Remove from the heat. Take out the steamed eggplant and transfer to a
    cutting board. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes until you can easily
    handle them.

    Tear each piece into bite size pieces.

    Seasoning Mixture:

    Combine garlic, green onion, soy sauce, fish sauce, hot pepper flakes,
    sesame oil in a mixing bowl.

    Mix well with a wooden spoon.

    Put It Together & Serve:

    Add the steamed eggplant to the bowl and mix well by hand or with the
    wooden spoon.

    Sprinkle with the crushed sesame seeds and serve with rice.
