Instructions: *Sesame seeds can be toasted by frying in a few drops of vegetable oil on top of the stove (or baked slowly in 200 F. oven until brown).

Cover eggplant with boiling water; cook until barely tender. Drain, cool and peel; cut into julienne strips 1/2" long.

Mix oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, Tabasco (or cayenne), sesame seeds and soy (or oyster sauce); pour over eggplant. Cover and refrigerate 1 or 2 hours; drain.

Serve with boiled or broiled fish or as a part of lettuce lunch.
