Eggplant in garlic sauce

  1. Clean and cut Chinese eggplant into serving size (Halved along the length first, then cut into half moon or strips). 
  2. Heat oil in a wok, stir fry the eggplant with minced garlic, salt and chili flakes (or minced dry red chilis) until soft but not mushy.
  3. Add low-sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce in a cup with water. Mix well and pour on the wok evenly and simmer to reduce the sauce.
  4. You may add 1 tsp sugar. The Chinese variation I had in a restaurant was a little sweet and they added wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots and bell pepper to the braised eggplant.
You may also add a bit of chili oil for flavor.
