About Eggplant in gochujang sauce

Eggplant in Gochujang Sauce is a bold and flavorful dish inspired by Korean cuisine. The star ingredient, tender eggplant, is stir-fried and coated in a spicy, savory sauce made from gochujang (Korean chili paste), soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. This dish also often incorporates green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and aroma. Eggplant is rich in antioxidants and fiber, supporting heart health and digestion, while gochujang provides capsaicin, promoting metabolism. However, gochujang contains sugars and sodium, so moderation is key. Low in calories yet satisfying, the dish makes an excellent plant-based option, and pairing it with steamed rice or quinoa can create a balanced meal.
