From: jayne@... (Jayne Spielman) Date: Tue, 6 Feb 96 12:16:00 EST Cut eggplant into finger sized pieces-cut lengthwise, then into quarters etc. Saute with some water in a non-stick pan/wok, until soft. When soft, remove from pan.
On low heat, cook garlic, ginger, and hot bean paste for a minute, then add salt, sugar, soysauce and stock/water.
Return eggplant to the pan and cook for about five minutes until garlic is soft and a sauce forms. If sauce is too thin, thicken with 1 tsp corn starch mixed with 2 tsp water. Serve over white/brown rice.
