Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 Chinese eggplants, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 inch half moons
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

Directions

  1. Heat the canola oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook and stir the eggplant until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the water, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed. Meanwhile, mix sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and oyster sauce in a bowl until sugar and cornstarch have dissolved. Stir sauce into the eggplant, making sure to evenly coat the eggplant. Cook until the sauce has thickened.
