Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

Sauce
2 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce (or regular oyster sauce)
2 tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon chili paste (sambal oelek preferred)
1/2 teaspoon ground bean sauce (can substitute hoisin sauce)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Eggplant
canola oil, for deep-frying
1 pound eggplant, peeled, cut into 1-inch dice
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing well. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the recipe. Heat oil in a wok to 350 degrees F. Add the diced eggplant and cook, stirring lightly to ensure even cooking, for one minute. Remove the eggplant with a slotted spoon and set on paper toweling to drain. Remove all but about a teaspoon of oil from the wok. Turn the heat to high and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, for about 5 seconds then add the sauce. Let the sauce come to a simmer for 30 seconds. Add the eggplant back to the wok and cook for 10-15 seconds while stirring. Combine the cornstarch and water to make a smooth paste. Stir it into the eggplant mixture until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve hot. Recipe Source: PF Chang's

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 (1/4 ounce) packets sugar substitute (Splenda, Truvia, etc.)
1 teaspoon sambal oelek chili paste
1/2 teaspoon ground bean sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 lb eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon lowfat margarine
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Make the spicy sauce by whisking together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, vinegar, sugar substitute and sambal oelek chili paste. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the eggplant cubes on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I prefer to line the sheet with Reynolds non-stick foil.) Bake for about 20 minutes, until thoroughly cooked.
  • Melt the margarine in a large skillet or wok. Stir-fry the garlic and green onions until the garlic is soft. Add the sauce and let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggplant cubes to the sauce. Simmer for a few more minutes. Mix the cornstarch with the water and stir into the skillet. Let the sauce simmer until thickened. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Choose the right eggplant: Japanese eggplants are the best choice for this recipe, as they have a delicate flavor and texture. If you can't find Japanese eggplants, you can use regular eggplants, but they may be a bit more bitter.
  • Cut the eggplant properly: To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, cut it into thin, even slices. This will also help it cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're stir-frying the eggplant, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the eggplant from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a high-quality oil: Use a high-quality oil, such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil, for stir-frying. These oils have a high smoke point, which means they can withstand high temperatures without burning.
  • Season the eggplant well: Season the eggplant with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to bring out the flavor of the eggplant.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried eggplant is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This P.F. Chang's Stir-Fried Spicy Eggplant recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy eggplant. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Serve it with rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish. Following the tips above, you can make this dish perfectly at home!
