- In response to the request for "eggplant in a spicy garlic sauce", I
- post this recipe from "The New West Coast Cuisine" cookbook, by L.
- Eckhardt.
-
- 1 eggplant(1&1/2 lbs)
- 2 fresh jalapenos (approx. 3" each), seeds removed, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lg. green onion, chopped in 1/2" pcs.
- 1/2 c. oil
-
- Sauce: 1/4 c. soy sauce
- 1/2 c. water
- 1/2 to 1 tsp. white pepper
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
-
- Cut eggplant into 1"x 3" julienne pcs. Soak in ice water for 15 min.
- Drain eggplant and dry with paper towels. Heat wok, add oil. Add eggplant,
- stir to coat with oil, cover and cook 2 min. Uncover and continue cooking
- for 2 min. Add chopped peppers, garlic, green onion, and cook until
- eggplant is tender (20 to 30 min.) Pieces must be completely limp before
- sauce is added. Stir sauce ingredients together and add to eggplant.
- Stir until thick. Remove to serving dish. Serve just warm or at room
- temp. for optimum taste.

- [I have made this a few times with varying success. If I get good,
- very hot jalapenos, the dish is wonderful and VERY hot-spicy. It can
- be made with 1 jalapeno and less white pepper for those who don't want
- it so hot. I did not find a mildly spicy dish though to be satisfying.]
