    I started to love eggplants recently and was looking for another way to cook eggplant. I’ve been following okonomikitchen since April on TikTok, and I thought i need to try this recipe!
    It’s sooo good! It doesn’t taste like eggplant at all haha! I never thought vegan recipe would be so tasty 😋

    Delicious and easy to make!! A perfect weekday dish, definitely making again!!

    I don’t have a blow torch and was able to broil in the oven. It wasn’t AS crispy but still delicious and fell apart on the chopsticks.
