Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and chop the HiO farm eggplant and Jimmy Nardello peppers into bite-sized pieces. Mince the ginger and garlic, and slice the red chilies.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Stir-Fry the Aromatics

Add the minced ginger, garlic, and sliced chilies to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Add the Vegetables

Add the chopped eggplant and Jimmy Nardello peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

5

Incorporate the Sweet Bean Paste

Stir in the sweet bean paste and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, mixing well to ensure the vegetables are coated.
