Eggplant side dish (Mild version)

Today's dish that I'd like to introduce is none other than "gaji namul" (steamed eggplant side dish)! It's delicious when eaten with warm rice, and if you add a little bit of gochujang (red chili paste) and a touch of sesame oil and mix it with rice, it becomes absolutely delicious! How about giving this healthy eggplant dish a try today?
