Basil Eggplant Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 Thai chile pepper, or more to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Chinese eggplants, cut into 1-inch cubes, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
Instructions
1
Heat the oil in a skillet over an intermediate temperature. Introduce chili and garlic into the pan, allowing them to meld with the oil; cook and stir until the garlic reaches a golden hue, approximately one minute. Introduce eggplants to the aromatic oil mixture and stir in water; cover the pan. Cook, stirring periodically, until the eggplants become tender, ranging from five to eight minutes.

Uncover and stir in soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Ensure a thorough mixture of the ingredients and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated, coating the eggplant evenly, approximately five minutes. Add basil leaves to the pan and stir once; then, remove from heat.
