Instructions
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat about 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Add eggplant in a single layer and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, combine chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, water, and brown sugar. Whisk together until blended.
- In the pan over medium heat, add and heat another 1 tablespoon of oil as needed.
- Add ginger and cook, stirring regularly, until fragrant.
- Add eggplants and green onions and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring regularly.
- Add chili garlic sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce is reduced.
- Season with salt to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- To prevent discoloration, immediately plunge eggplant after cutting in a bowl of cold water with a few drops of lemon juice.
- Eggplant absorbs plenty of oil; you may need to add more oil, a tablespoon at a time, during the brief pan-frying.
