Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large or four baby eggplant
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 scallion (white and green part, chopped)
1/4 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Slice the eggplant in pieces half an inch thick. If using large purple eggplant, sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for one hour. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Using a wok or large frying pan, brown the sesame seeds over medium heat. Remove and set aside. In a small bowl combine the hoisin and soy sauces, sugar and sherry to make a seasoning sauce.
  • Steam the eggplant slices over high heat for five minutes. Remove from steamer and allow to cool. Place on a rack and broil for five minutes on each side. Transfer the eggplant to a preheated flat serving dish and arrange the slices in an overlapping pattern.
  • Place the wok or skillet over high heat for about one minute. Add the oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and stir-fry for a few seconds.
  • Re-stir the seasoning sauce and add it all at once to the wok; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Pour in the stock and stir another 15 seconds. Pour the sauce over the eggplant slices and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

I would give this recipe 5 stars but the eggplant was a little too soft for my liking.

The eggplant was a little too smoky for my taste, but the sauce was delicious.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The eggplant is always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
