We have tried eggplant in the past and just never was thrilled with results. Well..... we have found a great new eggplant that is different looking and not as strong as your typical eggplant.
It is an ASIAN EGGPLANT.
ASIAN EGGPLANT STIR FRY
Ingredients
- 4 Asian eggplants
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 hot red chile peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
Directions
Cut each eggplant in half lengthwise, then cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Cover the eggplants with water, add the salt, and stir to dissolve the salt. Soak the eggplants for 5 minutes, then drain well.
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce with the sugar and sesame oil and set aside. Heat a wok or nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil, garlic, chile peppers, and eggplants and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue stir-frying for 2 more minutes. Add the oyster sauce mixture and stir well to mix. Remove to a platter and serve hot or cold.
We modified the recipe by adding steak, green onions and carrots. Since we added more ingredients need to triple the sauce - 3 tablespoons each of the oyster sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Served over noodles. Pictures below :
I only used 3 of the asian eggplants.
This is about 3/4 lb of ribeye steak.
Four larger green onions chopped on the diagonal.
Four carrots also cut on diagonal
HERE ARE THE RESULTS - CAN SERVE OVER NOODLES OR RICE
HOPE YOU TOO ENJOY FINDING A GOOD EGGPLANT RECIPE!
