Eggplant
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| 9 oz (250 g) eggplants |
| 1 tbsp soy sauce |
| 1/2 tsp salt |
| 2 tbsp cornstarch (cornflour)
dissolved in 2 tbsp water |
| 1 tsp sesame oil |
| 9 oz (250 ml) vegetable oil
for deep-frying; uses about
1 tbsp (15 ml) |
| 1/2 tsp scallions, chopped
|
| 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, chopped
|
| 2 cloves garlic, peeled and
crushed |
|
|
| |
 Peel the eggplant and cut into
slices about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.
Score the slices on one side about
1/8 inch (3 mm) deep and cut into
1 1/4 inch (3 cm) strips.
- Heat the oil in wok to 400oF(205oC)
or until a piece of scallion green
or ginger moves quickly when tossed
into the oil and a haze appears
above the oil surface. Add the
eggplant and deep-fry until brown.
Remove and drain well.
- Blend the soy sauce, salt, scallions,
ginger, the cornstarch-water mixture
and 5 additional tsp water into
a sauce.
- Pour all but 2 tsp of the oil
from the wok. Heat over high heat,
until the oil surface ripples.
Add the garlic and stir-fry until
fragrant. Add the eggplant strips
and the sauce. Bring to a boil
and cook, stirring, until the
sauce thickens. Sprinkle with
the sesame oil, remove, and serve.
