Another answer to the cooking tricks: I just found a chinese lady soaking the pieces in water with a hint of salt and vinegar for 20 min. To prevent 'em from soaking up much oil, later. Her channel is: CiCi Li - Asian home cooking Sure gonna try that, too! Greetings from the far north of Germany!

In answer to your question for tricks to cook aubergine... In the past, recipes called for aubergines to be sliced and salted before cooking to reduce their bitterness. As modern varieties are much less bitter, that is no longer necessary, however I find that it also used to toughen them slightly and the firmness meant that they would not fall apart so much once cooked. Deep frying also gives this as the caramelized outside helps the aubergine stay together. What I now do is much healthier, I put my cut aubergine on kitchen paper on a plate and microwave them on high, for 5 minutes. I find this extracts the liquid and again makes them firmer. Perfect for braising or stewing. For example I add them to Mapo Tofu if I don't have any Tofu. Try it! You may be surprised and its a handy technique for cooking aubergine.

Just made this recipe and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing!

[@daisysmum7336]

I always order this dish when I go to a Chinese restaurant. One of my favourites!

[@maryalicedavid6247]

It looks delicious! I miss The Bamboo House, here in Tallahassee. They had the BEST eggplant and garlic dish!

[@haebee]

thanks for this vegetarian recipe. i sometimes toss in scallions when browning the eggplant. so yummy either way.

[@SchoolofWok]

No problem! Sounds good - Chris

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Omg been trying to recreate the garlic eggplant been looking for, I added little more sugar, more ginger, used oyster sauce, but this is it, dish been looking for, tried adding other ingredients but no, adjusted amounts and it's what my favorite dish was, tyvm🙏

[@sirchedge7311]

I don't like eggplant in most American recipes, and have had many bad experiences with the rubbery/greasy texture, and but this looks delicious and promising! Thanks for sharing.

[@SchoolofWok]

Definitely give it a go, you'll be surprised - Chris

[@briandeeley1599]

There are no American eggplant recipes they are Italian and maybe you don't know how to cook.

[@NatalieCWilliams]

That looks sooo good!!

[@SchoolofWok]

It was! Give it a go - Chris

[@icardeveryone01]

One of my most favorite vegetables, Jeremy! Fabulous that it is the star of your dish! =]

[@SchoolofWok]

We love it! - Chris

[@JakeLucGoodman]

Jeremy is my favourite vegetable..

[@dapolimagic]

Alternative to frying eggplant is to cut and cook them in pressure cooker for 7-8 minutes. Comes out very soft and ready for stir fry.

[@SchoolofWok]

Sounds like a good method - Chris

[@reapergrim76]

One of my favs!

I love nasu dengaku, baked scored aubergine halves with miso marinade. Nice, clean, non-rubbery technique. It's nice too to serve aubergine as a sharing plate

[@SchoolofWok]

Delicious! - Chris

[@gratefuldev23]

Great dish! It turned out well for me even without a recipe (the link you provide doesn't work, nor did a search on your site).

[@91ascott]

What wok is this? It looks like exactly what I want and have been struggling to find

[@KFP4488]

Instead of mushroom vegetarian stir fry sauce can we use traditional oyster sauce?

[@SchoolofWok]

Absolutely! - Chris

[@TY-ob7fz]

@@SchoolofWok I like to add spring onions for color as well as taste and a splash of sesame oil which matches the flavor of eggplant very well, both added at very end.

[@timknaak]

Not bad. Was pretty easy to pull off. Didn't have ginger on me. Was ok without it. I'm sure it would have been fantastic with it.

[@walii777]

😂 Aubergine must be Jeremy's favorite word!

[@ronaldyeater3322]

I've tried this recipe using oyster sauce for stir fry sauce? I'm in USA, new England area, it's good but, here used to get and can't since covid and places closed, so on a hunt.. it's always been dark black, sweet, flavorful, more ginger taste than garlic??? Might try next time adding hoisin and black bean&garlic sauce, more ginger?? Idk? Any help? I'm keeping yours, and my spicy eggplant recipes, but sometimes want those idk memories? And we eat a lot of eggplant, especially in summer.. tyvm tc

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Yummy🎉 The huge amount of oil....😮😮😮

[@MP-uk1yc]

Looks very tasty, personally I would chuck a good handful of slides red chillies in with the Aubergines at the start to give it a kick.

[@SchoolofWok]

Sounds delicious! - Chris

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

Thanks. WW

[@dang2473]

Have been enjoying your vids👍..could you cook something using an electric wok for those of us without your setup,thanks!!

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks! The same principles apply to electric, it's all about understanding your heat! If it takes a little longer to heat up, that's okay. It's all about allowing time for heat to build when it's needed! - Lee

I prefer the Asian stir fry egg plant recipe.

[@carmeslynn]

I did not see you add the chopped ginger to the eggplant dish. At what point should it be added?

[@postaffe]

The ginger was mixed in towards the beginning with the chopped garlic used to create the sauce

[@mantisory]

What is vegetarian stir-fry sauce? Is it something I could make from scratch (even non-vegetarian)?

[@SchoolofWok]

It's a veggie oyster sauce made from mushrooms instead of oysters. I'm not sure how you'd make it from scratch, but oyster sauce is the non vegetarian alternative! - Chris

[@CarloMain]

why not put a slurry into the general sauce instead of putting cornstarch on the eggplants

[@postaffe]

Sounded like he said it helps seal the moisture inside the eggplant but I could have misunderstood

[@kevinn1158]

I've had a dish like this but it usually has ground pork in it. Is this the same dish but without the pork??

[@SchoolofWok]

It can be done with pork!

[@karajo77]

Vegetarian strir fried sauce? Whar are the ingredients?

[@JZ304]

Why no induction top for wok?

[@briandeeley1599]

Because induction is garbage.

Vegetarian oyster sauce, or you can use oyster sauce if you don't need it to be vegetarian - Chris

Good question. There is a link to the recipe in the description box but when I click there it takes you to a different part of his website.

[@briandeeley1599]

Corn flour, cornmeal and corn starch are three distinctly different things, Corn STARCH is what you are calling corn flour and it is wrong.

[@colettebishop2173]

Not in the UK, it isn't. Cornflour here is what Americans call corn starch.

[@briandeeley1599]

@@colettebishop2173 You are still wrong, I there is no way you can defend it, corn starch is a byproduct of corn flour. How do you differentiate between corn flour and corn starch? And don't tell me they are the same thing because they are not.

[@colettebishop2173]

@@briandeeley1599 I'm British (as is the chef) We call the product he is using cornflour. You call it corn starch as an American, bit it is the same thing. What you call corn flour isn't something that is really used here, so you would probably need to buy it on line, from somewhere selling American groceries, where it would still be called corn flour as it would be an American import. If we go to an Indian or African shop, we can buy fine or coarse corn meal, the fine corn meal would be closest to your corn flour, but not quite the same. Your corn meal would be closest to our polenta (Italian). We are different countries and use different names for the same thing. It doesn't make anyone wrong,.
