EGGPLANT AND PORK WITH BLACK BEAN GARLIC SAUCE
I adapted this recipe on Lee Kum Kee's website. It was very tasty, as well as quick and easy - anyone who likes Chinese food would love it! It's not spicy at all. I would recommend adding more sugar next time and/or adding some chili sauce or peppers.

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.

CHINESE EGGPLANTS (AUBERGINE) WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE
I love eggplants, but allergic to all seeds, peanuts and nuts. I cannot use commercially available hoisin sauce because it has sesame oil. I cannot make hoisin sauce because it has peanut butter, so I came up with this dish tonight to satisfy my craving for Chinese eggplants.
