Here is the recipe that I found on Allrecipes.com for Asian eggplant that I modified it
somewhat. It’s sweet, spicy, and very good.
Asian Eggplant with Garlic Sauce
3 Tablespoons canola oil
4 Asian eggplants, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 inch half moons
1 Cup water
1 Tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (very spicy), or to taste
5 Cloves crushed garlic
5 teaspoons raw sugar (can use white sugar)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
Heat canola oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add garlic and stir fry the garlic for a
few seconds. Add the eggplant to the skillet, stir fry until soft, around 4 minutes. Stir in
the water, and red pepper flakes. Cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, mix sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and oyster sauce in a bowl until sugar and
cornstarch have dissolved. Stir sauce into the eggplant, making sure to evenly coat the
eggplant. Cook until the sauce has thickened.
