Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the eggplant and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the bell peppers and green onions.

  2. 2

    Stir-fry the Eggplant

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until it starts to soften.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine with Sauce

    Add the soy sauce, chili paste, sugar, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir well to coat the eggplant evenly in the sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Peppers

    Add the chopped green and red bell peppers to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the stir-fry, mix well, and serve hot.
