Eggplant And Pork With Black Bean Garlic Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine water, cornstarch, sugar, sherry/broth and black bean garlic sauce in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
• In a heated pan with oil, brown the pork until well done. Drain. Add in ginger and eggplant and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
• Add sauce mixture and cook until sauce thickens.
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Place the eggplant in a large bowl. Sprinkle all over with salt and toss. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch until the cornstarch dissolves. Stir in 3/4 cup water, the garlic and the soybean and chili pastes.
• In a large wok or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the pork, season with salt and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate.
• Dab eggplant dry with paper towels. In the wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium high until it just starts to smoke. Add the eggplant, and sauté until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the soy-sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Once the sauce thickens, add the pork and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a lively simmer until the sauce thickens and the eggplant is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt. If you choose, serve with rice.

Steps:

• Rinse eggplant and dry.
• Diagonally slice the eggplant into 11/2-inch thick slices. (This will create diagonally sliced, round discs).
• With the tip of a knife, slice a pocket into each piece, slicing parallel to the surface and slicing only about 3/4 of the way through each slice.
• Each eggplant disc now has an opening for the shrimp stuffing.
• Chop shrimp into pieces about the size of corn kernels.
• Place shrimp in a bowl and season with salt and pepper; mix until shrimp becomes sticky, about 4 minutes.
• Using a table knife, stuff about 1 to 2 teaspoons shrimp mixture into the pocket in each eggplant slice.
• Dip knife into cold water between stuffing to smooth shrimp filling (This step could take 15 to 20 minutes).
• Pour 1 cup oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
• Pan-fry stuffed eggplant until brown on both sides.
• (Eggplant absorbs oil like a sponge; add additional oil if pan becomes dry or eggplant will not brown).
• When brown, remove from pan and set aside to drain.
• Pour 1 tablespoon oil into a hot wok.
• Add black bean, garlic and ginger; stir-fry until ingredients become a light brown.
• Add 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, soy sauce and wine.

• Stir in sesame seed oil, then remove from heat.
• Dip each eggplant piece in sauce to coat well, then place each piece on a small, heatproof plate.

Stir sauce into the eggplant, making sure to evenly coat the eggplant. Cook until the sauce has thickened.
