Pork and Eggplant in Hot Garlic Sauce image

Asian stir-fry. This is based on one of my favorite dishes at my favorite Chinese restaurant. Feel free to adjust seasonings to your personal preference. We like ours spicy and usually use more of the ginger, garlic and chiles.

1 large eggplant (or several small Asian)

HOT GARLIC EGGPLANT



Hot Garlic Eggplant image

This recipe is from a March 1982 issue of Bon Appetit. It comes from the "Cooking Class" section and is from Hugh Carpenter who runs the Montano Mercantile in Santa Monica, California.For a variation, he suggests using shrimp instead of the pork. Add to wok just before serving and stir-fry about 1 to 2 minutes.

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.
