Ingredients
- 2 medium chinese eggplant
- 1 medium plum tomato sliced and half
- 1 medium yellow onion peeled and sliced in half
- 1/2 cup cane or white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar

- Once the eggplant, tomato, and onion are done, peel the skin from the eggplant and slice. Slice the tomato and onion, as well. Arrange in a serving plate.
- Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl. Stir. Make sure that the salt and sugar dissolves completely. Pour over the tomato, eggplant, and onion.
- Serve with shrimp paste on the side.
