Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Wash the eggplant and cut it into small cubes. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Eggplant

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the salted eggplant cubes and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the garlic (minced), soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the garlic brown sauce over the fried eggplant and toss gently to coat. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm with your choice of protein.
