Eggplant and soy sauce side dish (가지나물) 

This channel has a very special place in my heart. And my stomach.

This one is so special since all the other eggplant dish is stir fried or fried in some way. Korean dishes are so uniquely healthy.

Ever since i turned to Korean cooking style, my body really thank me for it!

She is the cutest person on youtube! I can just hear her talk, Im not even cooking. I feel like Im sitting in the kitchen with her and listening to her amazing stories!

I made this recipe today and ate the whole thing by myself!!! It was delicious. I will share it next time I make it...maybe.

English caption is available now thanks to one of my viewers!

I moved from a city that had so many selections to eat Korean to a city with not much option. I saw this recipe and had everything to make this dish. It was super yummy. Love the combination of sesame oil and soy sauce. Yumm yummmm

You are making me eat my vegetables with all of your recipes! I can’t wait to try this!!

Am Indian learning your Korean dishes, I prefer and watch most of your vegetarian recipes.You are good in explaining things slowly , keep going.

I am an Indian and we add garlic to the eggplant dishes as well.You're right,it adds extra flavor to the dish.Maangchi I was smiling when you acted in your grandmother's voice :P Adorable as always! Love your recipe.

I LOVE seeing how you always clean your food, hands, area, EVERYTHING!

My mom used to make gaji namul when we were growing up (her parents were from Korea but she was born here). I have made it for years as well. This is the first time I’ve seen or heard of it anywhere else. However, we use vinegar instead of fish sauce (just enough vinegar mixed with the soy sauce to make it a little tangy).

I’m Vietnamese but I’m very fond of Korean dishes. Thank you so much for this! It made my friends and family very happy when I cooked at home.

I just, at 62 bought my first eggplant. Not Korean, but the fat American kind. 🤣You’ve inspired me to cook this recipe. Thank you Maangchi for great recipes, as always 💖

I made this dish for the second time, definitely do NOT want to over steam the eggplants, 5mins is enough. Because I can’t have rare garlic, I left the garlic out and added extra chopped shallots. It STILL delicious WITHOUT garlic 🙂👍👍 Thankyou so much for sharing this fantastic side dish recipe. Will continue to make it frequently 🙂 🇦🇺

I love that you always give vegetarian/vegan alternatives!! Big reason why I watch your videos :) thank you

안녕하세요 망치님 센트럴파크에서 한국어로 진행하신 인터뷰를 보다가 가지나물 레서피 이야기를 하시는걸 보았어요. 마침 정원에 심어둔 가지가 열매를 많이 맺어서 이걸 다 뭘 해먹지 하던 참이었거든요. 그래서 지금 막 만들어보았는데 정말 맛있습니다. 인터뷰에서도 이야기 하셨지만 이민으로 옛날맛 그대로를 가지고 계셔서 더 좋은것 같아요. 감사합니다.

Aaah! Bliss. I took care to tear, not cut, the steamed eggplant, making sure that a greater surface was exposed to the seasoning. Used four pods of garlic, not three, taking a hint from Grandmama's broad hint! It worked. With Chow Mein, it was totally mind-blowing.

Absolute perfection! I made this dish many times under your guidance and it comes out perfect every time!

This and your tofu recipe were a big hit during our family dinner. Thank you so much.

I love how clean you always clean and wash all your vegetables so well. Cooking is big in my family too, and my grandmother taught me to do that

Made this today for my family, I added some green chillies too to the mixture, it was gone in a few minutes and everyone wanted seconds and there was none. It was very good. Thank you for such a easy and so delicious recipe . Love from India :)

ever since i learned this recipe from you six years ago, it's my absolute favorite and i make it at least once a week! i love making a huge portion because eating cold leftover 가지나물 straight out of the fridge the next day is my guilty pleasure hehe

I tried it yesterday and guess what! My husband and I loved it! Now, I am addicted in watching and learning simple stuffs! Next one is the bokchoy side dish!

I love how maangchi still reads new comments on her old videos. Gonna try this today for lunch, looks super easy and I have everything already. I was just wondering what to do with a bunch of leftover brinjal in my fridge.

Made this for lunch and I'm so hooked up, it's so savoury and delicious. Not greasy at all too! Even my mother who was skeptical about this dish ended up loving it too! Will definitely make this again from time to time since it's very easy 😋

I am loving all of the kitchen tips like having a bowl of water to dip too hot fingers in, genius! This is the first time I have watched one of her videos, I will definitely be watching more.

Hi Maangchi thank you so much for the lovely receipe just love your shows greatly you are really a wonderful person I love to hear you talk so friendly and kind love you the best from Canada!!!!!

Chinese (Simplified) caption is up now thanks to our volunteer translator!

I cooked this tonight and I almost ate it all! This is my first time cooking/eating eggplant and now I love it! Thank you Maangchi! You Are The Best!

I am newly wed with my korean husband and this channels helps me a lot to cook korean food and side dish. Thanks a lot ❤🎉

Thank you for this delicious vegan recipe. I have these eggplants growing in my garden in AZ and lived in Taiwan for years. All the recipes I knew required ground pork and lots of oil. This is delicious. I love to watch your show and your happy personality. Such good recipes!!!

Looks yummy, thank you for showing us this, you also have a beautiful personality and your cooking is so authentic, great video

Thanks, and I like your english. It's simple and straight forward, perfect.

Came back to revisit this recipe after finishing two bowls of steamed eggplsnts inspired by this recipe. Ran out of garlic and no pepper flakes. I heated vege oil then slightly fried the scallions before adding sesame seeds and oil. Also added a bit of salt and chicken powder along with seasoning sauce. Loved it.

Eggplant 3 garlic Spring onions 1 tbsp Soy sauce 1 tsp Fish sauce 1 tsp hot pepper flakes 2 tsp sesame oil 1 tbsp sesame seeds

This recipe rocked my socks off when we made it at home. We finished it in one seat. Sooooo yummy! We love your channel. Thank you for bringing forward great dishes.

Thank you for your motivating me to try korean dishes Maangchi! :) I am from germany and tried cooking traditional japanese breakfast the first time and desided to try the eggplant too! Maybe I will try it with something else the next time and a little less seasoning to train my weak european taste buds hehe!😅☺️ Thank you for inspiring so many people!

I made this dish last night Maangchi. It was so wonderful.. What a great way to have eggplant! Nice and light texture and not greasy with a rich deep flavor. I think this is going to be my favorite side dish too.

Hi Maangchi, I am a big fan of yours. This is a good recipe now that summer is here. Thank you. Always a delight to watch you. Makes me happy.

I love this recipe. Today, a lady from church brought eggplants from her garden and gave us a few. I can't wait to make it tomorrow.

Hello Maangchi! ..I am from India . This side dish is really delicious. We , the Indians prepare a similar kind of dish where we just do a few alterations..like we use roasted eggplants and mustard oil which provides really strong flavour! If you travel to India ever just have a taste of it once !! Love ❤ from India...

Dutch caption was submitted by one of my viewers! Thank you so much!

When I saw this recipe, I immediately went to the market and got some eggplants. Made it exactly per instructions and they turned out amazing! It went well with white rice and my husband loves it! Thanks for these recipes. We are trying to add more veggies into our diet!

You're absolutely adorably and I just found your channel! We picked 5 lbs of Korean eggplant at a local farm here in Hawaii! Looking forward to making this tonight. Happy New Year and Aloha!

made this today and i really like this side dish!! thank you for the recipe. easy to do, but yummy!

this dish has saved my life soooooo many times! i cant thank you enough for this! :)

I finally made it today and it is scrumptious!!!! Love it!! I am learning how to cook Korean with lots of vegetables. Thank you!!!

I absolutely love the simplicity of this dish. It’s light and full of flavor. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Have a lovely day MaangChi!

the sauce in this recipe is amazing, just made the eggplant to go with some dumplings and a steamed egg (in same pot as the eggplant) and the sauce goes with all of it so well~

perfect eggplant recipe. I love eggplant so much. And this recipe was so simple,easy,and clean..love it!!

Spanish caption is up now thanks to our volunteer captioner!

I always love your Korean recipes. I am trying to lear how to make Korean recipes as well, because I realised that your culture has delicious food. I will make this for my friends, who are coming to have dinner with me on Saturday.

I made this. I didn't have sesame seed so I put in some crushed peanuts that I had and that was pretty good.

I just made this, and it is really tasty. Thank you Maangchi!

the first time i saw this video, i made this since we have eggplant in the backyard...it was so delicious...i put ginger, a tablespoon of coconut vinegar and lemon juice in addition to the spices you have on my salad.really a mouthwatering dish.

Ive made this several times for my family and they LOVE it ! Thank you too much ! I always wanted to use these eggplants and you gave me a great recipe!

I really love the fact that you enthusiastically try the food you make at the end of video, it really does give me humanguous amount of satisfaction and makes me think as if I really ate it with you:).

I cooked Korean mix vegtable fancake from you, at the first time, my husband ate all. Thank you your clearly - easily -understanding clips very much!

Maamgchi you are so sweet & your tutorials are so clear. Thank you!

Adoro suas receitas! Maangchi!Quando posso eu faço aqui em casa!Um abraço desde Brasil..Obrigado ..👏👏

It Seems delicious. 🤤I wanna try this recipe.

This is one of my favorite side dishes of yours, Maangchi! I make it all the time and have to stop myself from eating the whole thing! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Loved how she changed her voice to mimic her grandma! :D

For some reason, this was on my recommended and when i try to search for food, this is the first video that pops up. I tried making and honestly, 난 너무 좋아요. 잘했어요!

Hello Maangchi! Thank you so much for your recipe! I forwarded it to some people who are in love with Asian cuisine like me. I just made it and your recipe really took me back in time when I stayed in China as an exchange student and got immersed in the delicious tastes of how eggplant is prepared there. Thank you so so much, now the Far East isn't that far anymore but right here in my kitchen! God bless your beautiful heart!

I made this and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'm not vegetarian but I did not have fish sauce on hand so I used more soy sauce instead like you suggested. Yum!

Hi guys, I wanted to tell you that I tried this with a few changes and it was delicious! I used a common aubergine/eggplant instead of a Korean one. Onion and garlic give me heartburn so I used 1tsp finely chopped ginger * I only needed 1 teaspoon of (dark) soy sauce for 1 eggplant I don't know if it made a difference but I used a tiny pinch of asafoetida/hing because I've read that it's used in Indian cooking that doesn't use onion and garlic and we had some at home. (I've been wanting to use finely chopped anchovies to replace fish sauce and make recipes even healthier but didn't have either.) I added in 1 to 2 finely sliced radishes because I had some and thought the zingyness would go nicely. *A lot of people with heartburn or other gastrointestinal problems can find that onion and garlic and tomatoes can give them problems. A lot of the time though, if you leave out foods that give you problems, you can find that after a while (days/months/years) you can eat some of them again in smaller amounts. That's all. I haven't been eating healthily for days because I couldn't find an uncomplicated and healthy dish. Thank you for the tasty food, realistic and easy to follow videos and your warm personality Maangchi.

I will prepare this tomorrow! Looks great, and so simple. My German grandmother also liked to tear legumes with the hand, she said: the tissue breaks where it should, that is healthier and tastier.

가지 무침 너무 맛있어 보이네요.

Hi Maangchi! I just prepared this delish side dish today and finished it in one sitting! (my girlfriend luckily had a taste of it, and she loved it!) Thanks for sharing your recipes! We love you from the Philippines!

Hi Maangchi: I tried Gaji Namul today following the exact instructions you gave in the video. It came out delicious even in my first attempt. ❤❤❤❤❤
