Moo2 - Served this with Chinese steamed buns last night. Loved the taste but will reduce the vinegar slightly next time as the kids thought it a bit strong. Had to steam my eggplant for a couple of extra mins but that could be 'cause I cut them a bit too big. Very velvety when cooked through and very quick and easy.
