Brinjal With Kicap Manis & Anchovies

The "anchovies" for the vegan version were actually crispy mushrooms! Brinjal were cooked till tender and kecap manis sauce wasn't too overpowering or sweet. I liked this! Goes perfectly with some white rice.

the sambal brinjal was one of my favorite dishes! cooked very well, coated in a flavorful layer of sambal and just the right level of spice. couldn't stop eating it the entire dinner 😋 review written by my (non-veg) sister! yayyyy

I didn't really like this dish because it was too oily for my liking. Personally i dislike fried brinjal as they tend to soak up a lot of oil. That aside, the brinjal was very soft and covered with a sweet umami soy sauce. The anchovies on top were actually fried mushrooms which was crunchy and fun to eat~😊 but hey if you do not mind brinjal being cooked this way, you might just fall in love with this dish!
