Savings Oil Stir-fried Eggplant

shaoqiezi

Ingredients preparation

1 eggplant, 1 bunch green beans, enough spring onion, enough ginger, enough garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar.

Steps involved

1. Clean and peel the eggplant, cut into cubes, mix with half a spoon of salt, and let it sit to release water.

More than ten minutes later, you can squeeze some of the water out of the eggplant by hand, but don't squeeze it too dry as that might not taste good. This method will soften the eggplant without frying in oil, making this "soft eggplant" cooking technique both fuel-efficient and oil-saving.

3. Prepare the chopped scallions and ginger, and prepare more minced garlic.

4. Heat the wok, add oil, stir-fry the garlic and ginger, then add the eggplant, stir-fry for about 5 minutes, letting the eggplant heat evenly before adding soy sauce and stir-frying until well combined, then cover and simmer for a while.

5. When the eggplant is nearly done, add the cooked green peas and stir-fry evenly.

6. Add a splash of cooking wine, and season with an appropriate amount of salt and sugar. Finish by adding minced garlic just before serving.
