If you are an Eggplant lover, you would love this. I have to tell you that it is a myth that Chinese dishes are healthy. It is certainly not true. If you are counting calories, this is not really for you. You will need a couple of Japanese Eggplant. These are different from the American Eggplants. They are slender and skinny. You usually cannot taste the seeds because they are finer than the American ones. Here is what you need. Most of the special sauce can be easily found at an Oriental Grocery Store:

Two medium size Japanese Eggplants

1/4 pound of Ground Pork (marinade it with some Soy Sauce, Black Bean with Garlic Sauce,

Salt, a dash of sugar, little bit of oil, Sesame Oil, and Cornstarch)

minced Garlic

2 tablespoons of Oyster Sauce

1 teaspoon of Black Bean with Garlic Sauce

Two tablespoons of Spicy Garlic Sauce

One teaspoon of Hot Pepper Sauce( the ones that has seeds in it)

a few drops of Sesame Oil

Two cups of boiling water

Cornstarch with cold water for the gravy

Oil for frying the Eggplant

First, deep fried the eggplants on high heat till tender. Take them out. Put some oil in the Wok. Add minced Garlic, then Ground Pork. Use medium heat first for the garlic. Once you put it the Ground Pork, use high heat. Stir it till cooked. Add the Eggplant. Add the boiling water. Bring it to boil, put in Oyster Sauce and Sesame Oil. Add Cornstarch with cold water already mixed in a bowl. Keep stirring till it looks thick like gravy. Yummy! Serve with steamed rice and hot Jasmine tea. Enjoy your dinner.
