Super Easy Braised Eggplant in Garlic Sauce w/ Minced Meat 鱼香茄子 Chinese Brinjal with Pork Recipe
Eggplant, also known as brinjal or aubergine, has a mild, tender, and slightly sweet flavour similar to summer squash or zucchini. When cooked, eggplant absorbs the flavour of whatever it is cooked with and becomes meltingly tender. While eggplant isn't the healthiest vegetable, it is a good source of potassium, fibre, and antioxidants like vitamins A and C, which help protect cells from damage. Eggplant is also high in polyphenols, which are natural plant chemicals that help diabetics process sugar better. When buying eggplant, choose one that is firm with a smooth, shiny, and wrinkle-free surface. Eggplant can be kept in the refrigerator's crisper drawer for about three days, but try to cook it as soon as possible. Keep the skin on when cooking eggplant to keep the flesh intact. Soaking the eggplant in saltwater prevents oxidation, extracts the bitterness, and keeps it from absorbing too much oil. When you combine minced meat and eggplant, you get a variety of textures that complement each other well. If you cannot eat pork, substitute minced chicken or beef. Hope you enjoy this dish. Happy cooking!

Spicy broad bean paste
Oyster sauce
Light soy sauce
Dark soy sauce (we've never tried this brand before so you gotta trial and error until you find a good premium dark soy sauce. The one we use has a really nice consistency - it's not too thick but not too watery. It's also not too salty and has a slight tinge of sweetness. The main purpose of dark soy sauce is to give your dish a dark colour with a really nice caramel taste)
Black vinegar
Cornflour
