Delicious Stir Fried Eggplant with Garlic Sauce | Easy Chinese Recipe
Ever since I learned how to cook eggplant, I am a lot happier about eating more veggie-centric meals involving eggplant. Eggplant is so filling and satisfying yet they are so healthy. In Western cooking, eggplant parmesan is another great recipe that involves eggplant. In Asia, stir fried eggplant is the most prominent way of cooking them. Different countries have somewhat different stir fry recipes although they are similar with respect to soy sauce-based flavors. Today's recipe is specifically Chinese. This recipe is also called eggplant with garlic sauce but garlic is less of a significant component especially in the sauce. However, this eggplant dish has a perfect balance of tangy, savory, and juicy flavors and texture it's wonderful. The recipe is super easy for any home cooks too. For vegans, just replace the oyster sauce with mushroom sauce as it's very close to tasting like oyster sauce with all the umami flavors you can still get from it. This eggplant dish is seriously the best.

=============================
The ingredients used are available in most of the Asian kitchen pantry and can be done within thirty minutes. I have added Szechuan peppercorn which may not be available in certain places, but that is optional.
There are three fundamental techniques in this recipe:
1. Add salt to the eggplant so that it will absorb less oil during deep-frying
2. Add vinegar to the eggplant to preserve the purple hue of its appearance.
3. Mix the gravy with the crispy eggplant in the wok, not more than ten seconds. If you stir-fry the eggplant, the gravy will soften the crispy eggplant. More importantly, serve immediately.
Let’s get started.
Recipe:
