Asian Stuffed Eggplant With Hawaiian Style Pork Or Turkey Hash Recipes

Steps:

• Combine pork or turkey, eggs, green onions water chestnuts garlic, ginger powder, pepper, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar and soy sauce in a large bowl. Mix well (I like to use my hands).
• Cut a wedge out of the eggplant. Stuff the pork mixture into the newly created pocket. (I always overstuff).
• If desired, put the wedge back on top of the eggplant.
• ***NOTE***There will be alot of stuffing left over. This can be made into "pork hash" burgers or made into pork hash. To make pork hash, place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture on to the middle of a wrapper. Wrap up the sides, leaving the top open and unsealed.
