Wok fired eggplant

This is a spicy dish that I unfortunately made inferno-hot. The recipe comes from Grace Young's book, The Breath of a Wok, which is beautiful if you ever are interested in stir-frying.

Basically it's steamed eggplant that is then stir fried with some chili and a basic stir fry sauce. I cut it in half as a main dish for one person, but forgot to cut the amount of chili in half. Fuego!

  1. they sell those packet sauces for "yu xiang qie zi" at the chinese super market. it's super easy to make and so yummy. not that spicy either.

    i never tried steaming the eggplants before stir frying it. i always have to put a lot of oil (eggplants eat up oil like no other) and usually have to stew it for a min, so it's not so hard. i like my egg plant soft.
