Chinese Eggplant with Minced Pork

Method

  1. mix all the pork ingredients together and let sit
  2. mix the sauce together
  3. heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan, add the eggplant and cook for 5-10 minutes until the eggplant is slightly browned and soft enough to eat, then remove to a bowl
  4. add the pork mixture to the wok and fry until cooked through, push up to the sides of the work
  5. pour in the sauce and bring to a boil, then add in the eggplant and stir
  6. cook for another 2 minutes and server immediately on rice

Note:

  • This can be made with tofu (cut into ½ inch pieces) instead of eggplant and it is wonderful.
