Steps:

- Combine 1/4 cup sherry with oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in small bowl; set sauce aside.
- Heat wok until very hot.
- Pour in peanut oil;add garlic, chili paste and ginger and cook several seconds; do not allow garlic and ginger to brown.
- Add pork mixture and stir-fry, pressing pork against sides of wok until meat loses raw color.
- Add eggplant mixture; stir in sauce, adding more sherry if necessary, so liquid covers about half of stir-fry mixture.

- If wok becomes dry during cooking, add small amount of sherry or chicken stock.
- Continue cooking,uncovered, until most of sauce evaporates.
