Provided by Paula Disbrowe

Categories     side dish

Time 30m

Yield Serves 3 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 ounces Chinese eggplant (about 3 small), cut into 1/8-inch chunks
Salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons fermented soybean paste
1 teaspoon hot chili paste
2 tablespoons peanut oil
6 ounces ground pork
Hot steamed rice (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the eggplant in a large bowl. Sprinkle all over with salt and toss. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch until the cornstarch dissolves. Stir in 3/4 cup water, the garlic and the soybean and chili pastes.
  • In a large wok or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the pork, season with salt and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate.
  • Dab eggplant dry with paper towels. In the wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium high until it just starts to smoke. Add the eggplant, and sauté until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the soy-sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Once the sauce thickens, add the pork and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a lively simmer until the sauce thickens and the eggplant is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt. If you choose, serve with rice.

  • To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, slice it thinly and pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the eggplant slices over medium-high heat until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • To make the garlic sauce, use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • To make the sauce creamy, use full-fat yogurt or sour cream. If you are using low-fat or non-fat yogurt, you may need to add a little bit of olive oil or water to thin it out.
  • Serve the broiled eggplant with the garlic sauce immediately, or chill it for later.
