Eggplant with Hot Garlice Sauce (Adapted from Pei Mei's Chinese Cooking) 4-6 Chinese or Japanese eggplants (these are long and slender-HFSs or Chinese groceries will have them) 1 t chopped fresh ginger 1 T chopped fresh garlic( I use 4-6 cloves, as I really like garlic) 1 T Hot bean paste (available from Chinese groceries-check label to make sure it has no added oil-most don't) 2 T soysauce (adjust down for sodium restriction) 1 t sugar (or sucanat) 1 t salt (again, adjust for low sodium version) 1/2 cup soup stock or water 1 T chopped green onion Cut eggplant into finger sized pieces-cut lengthwise, then into quarters etc. Saute with some water in a non-stick pan/wok, until soft. When soft, remove from pan. On low heat, cook garlic, ginger, and hot bean paste for a minute, then add salt, sugar, soysauce and stock/water. Return eggplant to the pan and cook for about five minutes until garlic is soft and a sauce forms. If sauce is too thin, thicken with 1t corn starch mixed with 2t water. Serve over white/brown rice.
