Important Notes
Coating the pork in potato starch locks in the juices and helps the sauce adhere perfectly. ✨
Pre-heating the pumpkin in the microwave significantly reduces cooking time compared to raw, and enhances its natural sweetness. 💡
It is crucial to wipe the moisture off the eggplant thoroughly before grilling. Excess moisture can cause dangerous oil splattering. ⚠️
When grilling eggplant, start with the skin side down to maintain its beautiful purple color. 🔥
While it is delicious freshly made, chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour allows the sauce to soak into the vegetables, creating a deeper, more flavorful dish. 👥
