Stir-Fried Eggplant

Eggplant (also known as brinjal/aubergine) is one of the most easily available and affordable vegetables. Eggplant is very nutritious and is sometimes referred to as poor man’s meat. If you are an Eggplant lover like me, then you will surely enjoy this dish.

Ingredients
4 Eggplants
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic


Directions
1. Cut each eggplant in half lengthwise, then cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Cover the eggplants with water, add the salt, and stir to dissolve the salt. Soak the eggplant for 5 minutes, then drain well.
2. In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce with the sugar and sesame oil and set aside.
Heat a wok or nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil, garlic and eggplant and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue stir-frying for 2 more minutes. Add the oyster sauce mixture and stir well to mix. Remove from heat and serve hot.
