*INGREDIENTS*
*FOR STIR FRY*
1 large long eggplant [1 个大的长茄子]
Some red pepper [适量红椒]
Some green pepper[适量青椒]
1 tbsp of minced garlic [1汤匙蒜末]
1 tbsp of minced ginger [1汤匙姜末]
Some spring onion and coriander for garnish [葱和香菜做点缀]
Enough oil to fry the eggplant [足够的油用来炸茄子]
*FOR THE SAUCE*
1 tbsp of minced garlic [1汤匙蒜末]
2 tsp of light soy sauce [2茶匙生抽] [Pearl River Bridge Natural Brewed Light Soy Sauce: geni.us/wABlLXf]
1 tsp of dark soy sauce [1茶匙老抽] [Pearl River Bridge Superior Dark Soy Sauce: geni.us/T4vy]
1 tsp of sugar [1茶匙糖]
1 tsp of black vinegar [1茶匙陈醋] [Zhengjiang black vinegar镇江香醋：geni.us/Bqw98A]
1/2 tsp of cornstarch [1/2茶匙生粉]
3 tbsp of water [3汤匙水]
*HOW TO COOK*
- Cut the eggplant into strips. Season it with some salt for 20 minutes. I used about 1/2 tsp.
- Cut the red/green chili into small chunks.
- And have some diced scallion and cilantro for garnish.
- Make the sauce, 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 2 tsp of light soy sauce, 1 tsp of dark soy sauce, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of black vinegar, 1/2 tsp of corn starch so the sauce can be a little thick and 3 tbsp of water. Mix it well.
- Add enough vegetable oil into the wok. Use medium heat to fry the eggplant until soft. You can test the temperature with 1 piece of eggplant. If you see a lot of bubbles. That is perfect.
- Take it out and set it aside.
- Leave 1 tbsp of oil in the wok. Stir fry stir fry the ginger, garlic and the chilies for 3 minutes or until fragrant
- Pour in the sauce we made before. Stir fry for 1 minutes and you will see the sauce is getting a little thick.
- Add in the eggplant. Give them a nice mix.
- Don’t cook it too long, because we already fried the eggplant. Once you see the sauce is almost gone, turn off the heat. Garnish it with some spring onion and coriander. You are done.

I’m so happy I found this, I lived in Foshan for a year and got addicted to this eggplant dish. I can’t wait to make it at home, it’s been missed

[@kenw5258]

I love the way she talks, innocent and she explains clearly and concisely.

[@fasustinasmith5414]

She's a sweet heart. SHE DOES NOT !!! babble on. ..she gets to point. Makes SO CLEAR.SO SIMPLE. I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS.

[@chanceDdog2009]

I AGREE! I yell to assert my point

[@derekantill3721]

I cooked this today, a good recipe and served on a bed of egg fried rice it made a very good meal.

[@notacamel]

I just made this and my Chinese wife loved it! Thanks!

[@BlueBenz2005]

I made it yesterday. My picky hubby loved it. Thank you

[@iamasiadoll]

I am obsessed with your channel! I love how you explain everything so clearly, how your recipes are authentic, and the fact that you write everything down in the description ❤️ i just made this recipe 2 days ago and it was delicious, i had some for leftovers and it was even better the next day. Thank you for sharing your recipes, love you 😍

[@foodielovetoeat8484]

I tried this recipe and it turned out amazing! I did a little edit and added in cut onions instead of green pepper. It’s a really delicious dish! Thank you for the recipe!

[@mashamedved6266]

So glad I found this video))) Been making eggplants as well as other dishes from your collection and love every one of them. Turns out perfect every time. Thank you!

[@lostlatinlover]

Hey! I finally tried this eggplant recipe! First of all, it turned out great and tasted yummy! I used a "regular" eggplant because all the Asian groceries near me had only very ripe and soft long Asian eggplants. As you predicted, the "regular" eggplant was not as crisp as I would like but it still tasted great. Thanks for the recipe! Oh yes, before I forget... I added a touch of jalapeno pepper for an added "punch".

[@mdelatorre4370]

I was looking for an eggplant recipe and was so lucky to have found this. It was amazing! Definitely making this again.

[@sheilagaleno7822]

I did try it just a little while ago, it’s super tasty, really delicious..eggplants are not boring anymore!

[@pranganoodle7440]

I made this according to your recipe without the corn starch and it was still sooo good with fleshly cooked rice !!

[@mnob1122]

New subscriber here. I love your channel! I just finished making this recipe. WOW, so delicious! I didn’t have black vinegar so I substituted UME Plum vinegar. Also, I only had green Thai chilies. It didn’t matter. It was still fabulous and I will cook again. Thank you for this recipe!

[@aidanngreenwolfe200]

This was absolutely amazing. Perfect to use up eggplant and peppers from my garden.

[@garysumner797]

I still will try it ive liked everything you have made so far thanks for the great teaching

[@TWMAC2011]

Yum! I have made this 3X times now. Love it! Only one restaurant in our area has it on their menu, and they recently closed. Glad to to know a good recipe. Thank you.

[@jemimahjasline7385]

I first saw how very few ingredients there were and thought it wouldn't work out but I tried it and you definitely proved me wrong. It was soo delicious and thats coming from someone who doesn't like brinjal, everyone in my family devoured it. Its a must try for anyone regardless of whether you like brinjal or not.

[@themoodyporter]

OMG this was my first time eating Eggplant as well as cooking it. I made your recipe work with what I had available and it was so delicious. Thanks so much for the video

[@jfergs.3302]

I made this tonight :) had it as a (rather large) side dish with some sweet chilli, and lime infused salmon fillets... Boy it was delicious. I really like aubergine (eggplant), and can imagine this going with most meats and fish. Well worth a try. I'll be making this again, definitely.

[@moonlitsundance]

Thank you, love the clear instructions, very excited to try this :)

[@pyesd7316]

Easy to prepare and absolutely delicious! Love this channel - never disappoints!!

[@mnob1122]

Back again after posting 4 years ago! Still making this recipe often, following with all the same ingredients. The only change is that I have added tofu to this dish for the protein. I use firm tofu, cut up in bite size pieces, roll in corn starch and fry. I add the cooked tofu at the same time I add the fried eggplant. So delicious!! Thanks again for your wonderful recipe and for your channel.

[@DabneyFountain]

You are a treasure. Great video, easy to follow. Appetizing.

[@mitchilgeary2762]

This dish looks amazing! I love your channel, keep the great video's coming 😊

[@shinytiny9138]

in the future if you did a recipe with shrimp paste I would be so happy , it's my favourite ingredient 😃

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Did you mean the Thai style shrimp paste? Or do you have any specific recipes that use this ingredient? And I put it on my list, will try to make it for you

[@shinytiny9138]

Souped Up Recipes. To be honest I just buy a jar out of my local Chinese market , I am unsure of the differences between the Thai style one. I love using it all kinds of ways , mainly with pork it's such a great and unique flavour. Thank you for taking the time to ask and I wish you all the best on growing your channel. I look forward to all future videos.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thanks for the info... Will try to find some nice recipes =)

[@ronniecoral1677]

i will try it thanks its very easy.

[@lifenfood217]

i love eggplant !!! looks delicious :)

[@amparoestrada4224]

Simple but looking nice

[@shannonrobinson262]

I make this recipe often. Sometimes I substitute the green chili with green or long beans. It’s also nice to add in a little firm silken tofu. I let it rest 5 minutes if I do this so the tofu can absorb the flavors and add in 1-2 extra tbs of water so it’s easier to stir. Yummy.

[@ubamilitary]

Really simple recipe. it looks really good! I think I'm gonna try this once my eggplants grow.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Haha, made a difficult one last time, so this one should be easy=) Let me know if you like it when you try it.

[@flordelizinso6787]

[@anandyallappa3704]

Very instructive as to the various steps for preparation accompanied by explantations like not using round aubergine 🍆, salt to disgorge the water, it's blandness etc. Good simple recipe. Anand Yallappa from Mauritius

[@nellygotauco-co9374]

Hi... I love your cooking.. you explained the procedure easy to follow.. I want to try this eggplant over the weekend... I just want to ask what brand of soy sauce as well as the dark soy sauce you are using?.. thank you so much.

Used to eat this all the time in China, miss it so much since I've moved back home. Might attempt to make it one day but my cooking is awful 😔

[@susheelb6637]

Am going to try this loved the wok too where can we get this ?

[@kietlam9943]

Just made this love it except now sure I went wrong needed to add a bit more salt. I'd added some onions and tofu just cause didn't want to waste it but love this recipe. I'd also added a dash of vinegar for acidity.

[@franrushie1383]

Beautiful....

[@Rose27Aquino]

Oh so yummy simple recipe yet looks delicious..new friend here..

[@m.corege9726]

Would love it if you can do a 'Bean Sprout' recipe, the kind you would get in a Chinese restaurant - your videos are wonderful - thx for sharing - cheers from Canada

[@lilychau1671]

Let me share my bean sprout recipe. Serving for 2; About 300g of bean sprout washed and drained overnight, about 200g of fried tofu (slice about half cm thick) and about 50g of garlic chives( wash, drained and cut into 5cm long). Fry your bean sprout for about 1 min on medium heat, add in tofu and chive then fry for another 1, by now everything should be about 80% cook. Add your seasoning; About 1tbspoon of oyster sauce, 1tspoon of light soy sauce and about 1 tspoon of pepper and about 1 tbspoon of cornstarch mix with about 5tbspoon of cold water. After adding your seasoning in, keep stirring constantly so it doesn't form a clump from the corn starch and until it thoroughly mixed, then it done. This recipe is very simple and healthy, which i something eat by itself without any sides or rice. As this is home cooking, so all ingredients are approximate to your desire. bean sprout 300g fried tofu 200g garlic chive 50g oyster sauce 1tbs to 1.5 light soy sauce 1ts pepper 1ts corn starch 1tbs cold water 5tbs

[@junesuckrajh8020]

Can you cook some for me please...it looks so delicious..i want to try this very soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@sanoedelacruz7252]

Looks good. I will try. I don't have black vinegar, can I use Apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar or white vinegar? Which do you think would be the best substitute?
