-
- Braised Eggplant, Szechuan Style
-
- 1 large eggplant
- 2 Tb bean sauce
- 2 Tb hot bean sauce with chili
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 c vegetable oil
- 1 Tb ginger, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 lb ground fresh pork (1/2 c)
-
- Peel eggplant. Cut across eggplant into 1 1/2 inch slices. Cut each
- round slice into 4 pieces. Then cut each of these in two places, not
- cutting quite through so eggplant will cook evenly. Combine with the
- bean sauce, hot bean sauce with chili, and sugar with 1/4 c cold water.
-
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or skillet, then add ginger and garlic. Mix
- a few times. Immediately add pork and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add
- eggplant and stir fry until all eggplant is coated with oil, about 4-5
- min. Add the already mixed sauce and mix well, then add 3 Tb water.
- Cover, turn the flame down to low, and cook for about 5 min. Serve hot.
- You may wish to make it a little milder by adding less hot bean
- sauce...or perhaps more, to make it hotter.
- 4-6 servings
