Garlic-Soy Chinese Eggplant
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 Chinese eggplants, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 inch half moons
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over extremely high heat, filling it with oil to cover the bottom. Sear and constantly move eggplant in the hot oil until it becomes tender, approximately 4 minutes. Introduce water, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes into the skillet, then cover it and let it gently bubble until the water is fully absorbed.
2
Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl and thoroughly mix until the sugar and cornstarch are fully incorporated.
3
Add the sauce mixture to the eggplant, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and reaches your desired consistency.
