Korean BBQ Eggplant Tacos with Cabbage Slaw

Absolutely packed with umami flavor, this vegetarian recipe is sure to win over any skeptics around your table. Eggplant offers a satisfying meaty texture, especially when coated in sweet and spicy sauce and charred on a grill. Rich in B vitamins, fiber and potassium, eggplant is an excellent addition to your recipe rotation. Cabbage slaw adds a crunchy counterpoint, and contains sulforaphane, a powerful nutrient that protects against cancer and aids in lowering blood pressure and inflammation. Gochujang, the foundational ingredient in this Korean BBQ sauce, is a fundamental ingredient in Korean cuisine. Made of red chili pepper flakes, sticky rice, fermented soybeans and salt, it adds an irresistible umami flavor, and the capsaicin in the chili pepper can boost your metabolism and reduce insulin spikes.
