Main Ingredients- 2/3 medium eggplant

Seasoning- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp corn syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp corn syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the eggplant thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Cutting it into about 1-1.5cm thick slices will give it a nice texture and make it even more delicious.
Step 2
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared eggplant and stir-fry until it becomes tender and slightly golden brown. The eggplant will absorb the oil and soften.
Step 3
Once the eggplant is tender to your liking, add all the seasoning ingredients: red pepper flakes, minced garlic, soy sauce, corn syrup, and sesame oil. Also, add the finely chopped green onion.
Step 4
Stir everything together quickly over high heat to ensure the eggplant and seasonings are evenly combined. Be careful not to burn the seasonings. Continue stir-frying for just 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle with ground sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. Your delicious stir-fried eggplant is ready! Serve it over a warm bowl of rice for a truly satisfying meal.
