Let’s make a delicious stir-fried eggplant seasoned with oyster sauce, using fresh summer eggplant.
Main Ingredients
- 1 eggplant
- 1/4 onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s try making stir-fried eggplant with oyster sauce where the flavor is perfectly absorbed!
Step 2
First, heat some cooking oil in a pan and add a handful of chopped green onions. Stir-fry over medium-low heat until the aroma of the green onions is released, creating scallion oil. Once the aroma is fragrant, add the sliced onion and eggplant cut into bite-sized pieces. Sauté until the eggplant begins to turn slightly translucent.
Step 3
Once the eggplant and onion are somewhat cooked, add the seasonings. Add 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Stir and cook while mixing to ensure the seasonings are well distributed and don’t burn, adjusting the heat as needed.
Step 4
Continue stir-frying over medium-high heat for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully into the eggplant and onion. It’s important not to overcook the eggplant, so it retains a pleasant texture.
Step 5
And there you have it! A delicious stir-fried eggplant with oyster sauce is ready. Enjoy this fantastic side dish!
