Chinese Eggplant with Ginger and Scallions
(10 votes)
1-1/2 pounds chinese or japanese eggplant
1 teaspoon asian sesame oil
For The Sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
2 tablespoons rice wine
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3 scallions, white part minced,
green part thinly sliced for garnish
1 to 3 serrano or jalapeno chilies, minced (for a milder dish, remove the seeds)
1. Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Peel the eggplants and cut on the diagonal into 1/4-inch slices. Brush the slices with sesame oil and grill over medium heat for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. The recipe can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead to this stage.
2. For the sauce, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, vinegar, sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir to mix.
3. Heat a wok (preferably non-stick) over a high flame. Swirl in the canola oil. Add the garlic, ginger, scallion whites, and chilies and stir fry for 10 seconds or until fragrant but not brown. Add the eggplant and stir fry for 1 minute. Stir the sauce and add it to the eggplant. Bring the mixture to a boil; the sauce should thicken. Transfer the eggplant to a platter or bowl and sprinkle with scallion greens. The eggplant can be served hot or cold as an appetizer or vegetable side dish. This rendition calls for grilling the eggplant, which imparts a smoky flavor in addition to dramatically reducing the fat.
This dish is best made with Chinese or Japanese eggplant, those small, long, slender, bright purple eggplants sold at Asian markets. But a regular eggplant will do in a pinch.
Hot Garlic Eggplant Recipe
Ingredients:
4-6 Chinese or Japanese eggplants (these are long and slender-HFSs or Chinese groceries will have them)
1 t chopped fresh ginger
1 T chopped fresh garlic( I use 4-6 cloves, as I really like garlic)
1 T Hot bean paste (available from Chinese groceries-check label to make sure
it has no added oil-most don't)
2 T soysauce (adjust down for sodium restriction)
1 t sugar (or sucanat)
1 t salt (again, adjust for low sodium version)
1/2 cup soup stock or water
1 T chopped green onion
Cut eggplant into finger sized pieces-cut lengthwise, then into quarters etc.
Saute with some water in a non-stick pan/wok, until soft. When soft, remove from pan.
On low heat, cook garlic, ginger, and hot bean paste for a minute, then add
salt, sugar, soysauce and stock/water. Return eggplant to the pan and cook for about five minutes until garlic is soft and a sauce forms. If sauce is too
thin, thicken with 1t corn starch mixed with 2t water.
Serve over white/brown rice. from yahsoComment

The Japanese cultivated that particular variety.Comment
