Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large or four baby eggplant
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 scallion (white and green part, chopped)
1/4 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Slice the eggplant in pieces half an inch thick. If using large purple eggplant, sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for one hour. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Using a wok or large frying pan, brown the sesame seeds over medium heat. Remove and set aside. In a small bowl combine the hoisin and soy sauces, sugar and sherry to make a seasoning sauce.
  • Steam the eggplant slices over high heat for five minutes. Remove from steamer and allow to cool. Place on a rack and broil for five minutes on each side. Transfer the eggplant to a preheated flat serving dish and arrange the slices in an overlapping pattern.
  • Place the wok or skillet over high heat for about one minute. Add the oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and stir-fry for a few seconds.
  • Re-stir the seasoning sauce and add it all at once to the wok; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Pour in the stock and stir another 15 seconds. Pour the sauce over the eggplant slices and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

I followed the recipe exactly and the eggplant was still tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not a fan of the smoky flavor of eggplant, but this recipe was still good. I think it would be even better with a different type of eggplant.
