Grilled Hoisin-Glazed Eggplant

This is a Martha Stewart recipe.  What a household name, well-deserved for her "entrepreneurship."  It is a super super simple recipe BUT I recognize that Hoisin sauce may not be readily available in your fridge as it is in mine.  I am Vietnamese after all :)

Hoisin sauce, if you don't recognize the name, is that sweet brown sauce that you use at Vietnamese Pho restaurants.  Yes, that yummy sauce you love to dip beef balls into.  It's also the main ingredient to Spring Roll dipping sauce, a combination of Hoisin, peanut butter, vinegar and salt.  It can be purchased at any Asian market (specifically Vietnamese if you are fortunate to have one around).  So, if you stock it in your fridge, this recipe is superbly simple-- and gorgeous.
