Chinese Eggplants with Garlic Sauce

  • Hey friends, today we’re making a Chinese dish: eggplants with garlic sauce. This dish is popular in Sichuan. This version of the dish is shallow fried like you would typically get in a restaurant but there are steamed versions of this dish as well for people who are trying to be healthier. I use to not be a fan of eggplants because I thought they were slimy and mushy but that texture works really great with this sauce. This dish adds a lot of flavor to rice and is good eaten by itself as well.
    Ingredients:
    1) 2 eggplants
    2) Cornstarch (enough to coat eggplants, ~3tbsp)
    3) 2 green onions
    4) 5 gloves garlic
    5) 30g ginger
    6) 3 Thai chili (optional)
    7) Sauce: 100ml water, 1tbsp soy sauce, 1tbsp sugar, 1tbsp Shaoxing wine (optional), ½ tsp sesame oil
    8) Cornstarch slurry (1tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp water, mixed)
    9) Vegetable or corn oil
    Instructions
    1) Cut your eggplants into bite size pieces and coat in cornstarch to get thin even coating.
    2) Mince finely chop green onion, garlic, ginger, and Thai chili (optional, can be left out or replaced with other chili/chili flakes)
    3) Mix your sauce
    4) Fill a hot pan/wok with oil and shallow fry your eggplants for about 3 minutes making sure all sides are fried.
    5) Add more oil to a clean, hot pan/wok and add your green onion, garlic, ginger, thai chili. Stir fry for about a minute.
    6) Add sauce to your pan and quick stir. Then add corn starch slurry to thicken up the sauce.
    7) Add your fried eggplant and stir for another 30 seconds.
    8) Plate and eat.
    As always, please enjoy :)

    New sub here. Made this for dinner today and it was a hit! The recipe is super tasty and flavorful as is. Also important is that the recipe was really easy to follow and the ingredients are all things I typically have on hand. I added about half a teaspoon of gochujang to the sauce for a little extra kick and it was delish! Can't wait to try more of your recipes!

    • @MishaVA444

      Soak eggplants in some salty water for hours, keep them dry, and then fry them, it may be absorbing less oil.

  • @nonenoneonenonenone
    @nonenoneonenonenone 2 года назад +11

    One of my favorite dishes, especially if there is honey in the sauce, though it tends to be too sweet. I would try to pre-soak the eggplant in salted water to remove any bitterness. And when it comes to hot pepper, I believe in removing the seeds as they have no flavor, only heat, but the skins give you both.

Keep the good and hard work, bro.
