Super Easy Braised Eggplant in Garlic Sauce w/ Minced Meat 鱼香茄子 Chinese Brinjal with Pork Recipe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- 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!

1 thumb-sized chopped young ginger
5 cloves of chopped garlic
1 stalk of chopped spring onion (add the stem part first and only the green part at the end)

Oyster sauce amzn.to/31ogQlv
Light soy sauce amzn.to/3qywggI
Dark soy sauce amzn.to/3q9bXoW (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 amzn.to/3xSzDls
Cornflour amzn.to/37NDVS3

Hi chef, It was my first time cooking this dish. I’m a newbie in cooking so I’m so surprised that it tasted so good! 😂I can prepare this for my family & friends in the future! Thanks for your really good recipe & teaching me how to cook! ❤ love from SG!
I made this using globe eggplant and without steaming the eggplant first it took a lot longer to cook the eggplant until it was nice and tender. It’s absolutely delicious, though! I used 1 tbsp soy paste instead of dark soy sauce and beef instead of pork and I didn’t use cornstarch solution. SO GOOD over rice!
Thank you so much for using our recipe as reference, Ann! We’re so happy to know that you enjoyed this dish 👍👍👍👍 good improvisation!!
Eggplants with minced pork looks very nice and delicious 😋 I love your recipe, thank you.
Love it. I cooked it today. Hello from Miami, Florida. Thank you.
Now i know how to make the eggplant softer! I always pan fried and needed a lot of oil, in the end my whole stove so oily. This is my favourite dish but seldom cook cos I need to use a lot of oil for the eggplant! Thank u for enlightening me ❤️

Excellent family meal. I can see myself adding a bit of chilli oil for some zing.
I cooked this last night for our dinner. Thanks a lot for your recipe, my boss loves the taste so much😍😍😍
The only thing I had to change is to peel the
Egg Plant , But it is so good ....Thank You ....
Yummy. I saved this video for future use. Thank you.
I loved it
I followed this exactly. I don't know what I did wrong, but it did not work for me. I steamed the eggplant for much longer than stated in the video, but the skin was still very tough, and the flavor lacked the "wow" factor. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I look forward to trying your other recipes.
Hihi. I think that your fire could be too low so the eggplant didn’t get cooked. Another reason could be your eggplant is a little too ‘old’. You can get small eggplant instead as larger ones are usually considered old.
@@spicenpans That makes sense, that my eggplants might be too old. I will keep that in mind in the future. Thank you.
Hello, I don't have black vinegar any kind of vinegar it's okay ?

Hi Roland, we made this dish last night and it was absolutely delicious!!! 😋😋😀 I am definitely now a big fan of eggplant and this dish will be a regular dish of us going forward. Blessings from South Africa. Heinrich and Liezl
Hello Heinrich and Liezl! Thank you so so much for using our recipe!! We’re so happy to know that you enjoyed it. We love eggplants too but we have to take them in moderation now after a doctor told us they’re not good for the eyes. Hope this info is helpful for you.
Hi Roland, thank you very much for informing us that eggplants should be taken in moderation.
We are continuously looking at your channel to try out new dishes 😀👍

Thanks so much for using our recipe, Maichieko!
Really easy to make and delicious 😍Thanks for sharing🥰
You’re most welcome 🤗🤗🤗
Any alternative for the bean paste? I don't think it's available near me 😅😅
Is white vinegar ok ?
2:25 You need to find a summer equivalent for your snowman spatula. 😉
Tasty recipe I’ll make it soom
I love it
Yummo will have to give this a try 🙂
If i dont have the spicy bean paste, what can I use as an alternative? I have mixed bean paste . Is this an option?
Hi Amrith, if that’s a Chinese paste, yes you can use it. The taste might be different but it’ll still taste good. Happy cooking!
@@spicenpans it's taucheo that I have , is this fine?
May I know if tablespoon refer to the measuring spoons or the utensil spoon?
Hi Maichieko. It’s our usual metal spoon that you use to eat rice. The set that comes with fork and knife.
Chef roland, i want to request rojak with fried youtiao. Which brand of shrimp paste those hawkers used for rojak?
If i dont have black vinegar, can i use normal white vinegar? Thank you
Chingkiang vinegar has a very distinctive flavour - a lot more earthy/umami than white vinegar. For me I wouldn't make that sub, but I always have chingkiang from the local Asian grocer, if access an issue you could substitute (I would probably use a lesser volume of white vinegar).
Looks Very tasty
I don’t have black vinegar. Can I use rice vinegar?
What kind of black vinegar do you use? Is it the same kind that we use for pig trotters vinegar???
For the meat do you need to wash it before cooking with eggplant because it has blood on it?
Hi you guys ! Can you pls do a video on Hainanese mutton soup 😋
Yummy
Can I use dried prawns instead of meat? Also is there a vegetarian version of this?
Nice video
Thank you very much, Tyler!!
My pleasure!
how do you cut the green onion? always wamt shredded green onion to marinate korean style
Hihi. Here’s how we made them curly. ruclips.net/video/VjdkVeo_Ypg/видео.html Hope this helps. Happy cooking!
@@spicenpans oh wow glad you covered it in a vid haha. thx a lot
Can i change the pork with minced beef instead?
Hi Roland, can we add carrot and black fungus to pig's trotter black vinegar?
Nice!
Although leaving the skin looks nice but not convenient to eat you have to throw the skin while eating inside the mouth. I would deskin entire egg plant. Cut french fries size long & thickness 1 cm. Oil fried, press till fully cook and take away the oil, set aside. Stir fried mince meat, mince garlic, shallot mince, seasoning: Oyster Sauce, Light sauce, shaoxing wine, sugar a bit, dash of maggi soy sauce, enough water & starch t right consistency. Add in 1 nos green onion (cut long). Add in cooked egg plant, mix and serve.
Hello po new here ❤️
Can i put white vinegar
Looks delicious! 🥰 What other vegetable works with this recipe?
String beans.
Hi Roland, if we don’t want it to be spicy, what can we replace the spicy broad bean paste with?
There is bean paste, which is non spicy. I have both and sometimes I mix them together when I want a mild spicy flavor. Usually a company will be make both versions and they are next to each other on supermarket shelves.
Roland, May I know what is broad bean paste?
It's doubanjiang or spicy bean sauce
Its fermented broadbean, you will get asian grocery store if your local grocery dont have
He put a link to it on Amazon at the very bottom of description
But 60 to
how long to cook to get rid of the raw eggplant taste? 😄
💜👍💜👍
Why is this dish called 鱼香 when there is no fish?
• yuxiang, a seasoning of Chinese cuisine that typically contains garlic, scallions, ginger, sugar, salt, chili peppers etc (Although "yuxiang" literally means "fish fragrance", it contains no seafood.)
Found an APPS to translates, I was curious as well..
@@sarahregine4184 thank you for the info! The name is somewhat misleading 😂
