Stirfried eggplant with chicken

Usually I use mince meat for this recipe but since I'm all out of mince, this was the best I could substitute it for. It still tastes awesome and the steps are still the same.

Ingredients:
Garlic (1-2 cloves)
Chicken (200g~)
Eggplant

Shao XingWine (~1/2 to 1 tbs)
Sesame Oil (1-2tsp)

Light Soy Sauce
Cooking Oil
Ginger
  • Step 1, cut up the ginger, garlic, chicken and eggplant
  • Step 2, in a small bowl, add in and mix the chopped up chicken, shao xing wine, sesame oil and a little soy sauce. Set aside.
If you don't have sesame oil, that's fine. Just don't add it in.
  • Step 3, heat up cooking oil in a sauce pan.
  • Step 4, when the oil is hot, add in the garlic and ginger.
  • Step 5, when the fragrance is in the air, add in the eggplants
  • Step 6, when the eggplant turns slightly translucent, add in the chicken
  • Step 7, mix well and ensure that all chicken bits are cooked. (OPTIONAL) Add in more soy sauce for flavour.
  • Step 8, Serve :)
A nice simple dish to make when pressed for time and when you're lazy. I absolutely love eggplants. I realised that I absolutely love a lot of things.. but then again, there are so many things to love! heehee. Eggplants can get really oily if you aren't use to cooking them as they tend to soak up quite a bit of oil and if you're not careful, you'd add in too much oil and your dish will get really oily. 

Hugs for everyone :) Enjoy your meal!
