Quantity Ingredient

1 teaspoon Chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh garlic (i use 4-6 cloves; as I really like garlic)
1 tablespoon Hot bean paste (available from Chinese groceries-check label to make sure it has no added oil-most don't)

1 teaspoon Salt (again; adjust for low sodium version)
½ cup Soup stock or water

Directions

From: jayne@... (Jayne Spielman) Date: Tue, 6 Feb 96 12:16:00 EST 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 1 tsp corn starch mixed with 2 tsp water. Serve over white/brown rice.
