Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into bite-sized cubes and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture, then rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until well combined.

  5. 5

    Combine and Cook

    Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring well to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
