Chinese eggplant and minced pork
2. Pan-steamed (less-oil method)
Cut the eggplant into batons and place them in a single layer in a large pan. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and cook on medium heat, turning occasionally, until the eggplant is soft and slightly browned, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the eggplant from the pan and set aside.
3. Make the sauce
In the same pan, add the garlic, ginger, and white part of the green onion. Cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the pork mince and cook until browned.
4. Add the sauce
Pour in the stir fry sauce and mix well with the pork mince. Add the cooked eggplant back into the pan and coat it in the sauce.
5. Serve
Garnish with the green parts of the green onion and serve hot with rice.
