Chinese Eggplants with Garlic Sauce
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 січ 2021
- 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 :)

Minced pork sends this recipe over the top! I skipped the sugar too and it still tasted great. Thank you!
I like all dishes with eggplants and this one recipe is like a jewel. Everyone around our dining table likes it. Quick and easy to cook. Thank you.
Wow! That was so easy to make and has such an addictive taste. Thank you for the recipe! Coating it in the corn starch and frying it really helps the eggplant hold onto the sauce well. Awesome 🥰

I have enjoyed this recipe. Found myself with a sudden abundance of eggplant and this helped. I roasted them to start as I do not own a wok. And I had no ginger or Thai peppers but I think it tastes pretty good. Can't wait to have more.
Glad you liked it 😊

Made this last week. Very good recipe, low on sauce. Also, I added a chicken buillion to the sauce for more flavor. Added carrots and onion. Very simple and straight forward. Took 10 minutes to make.

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!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I have made it one time and I love it
Wow, a fabulous recipe. I've tried this and short on some ingredients but tried to change it with some other ingredients. A bit worried about the spiciness since I didnt use the chillies and used some hot sauce instead. But damn, its good and not spicy. Love the simple instructions too. Keep the good and hard work, bro.
I have eggplant now and I don't know what to do. And I found this , your video and I will do it now. Thank you.

Try making Filipino egg omelette as well! I also made a recipe video for it
I am a brit, but I love Chinese food this was an amazing and easy to follow recipe. Just cooked this for my Chinese wife she said it was delicious.
Awesome recipe! Added a glug of oyster sauce and a shake of MSG, cause why not 🤪
As a side note, I thought it would take way longer but shallow frying the eggplant is unexpectedly very easy and efficient! Thanks for sharing :)
this is one of my favourite foods of all time
Well done, keep it up!
