I love eggplant and any opportunity to prepare them is always welcome in my kitchen. I do love Chinese food too, and since my first trip to China, when I have tasted the way they prepare their eggplant, it has been my mission to replicate it in my own kitchen. This is my interpretation of the Chinese eggplant. The wonderful thing is that most Chinese sauces can be found in our grocery stores in bottles. Thus half a shelf taken by them in my refrigerator.
The small eggplant are cut in rounds and sautéed at with lots of garlic and ginger and of course a concoction of sauces. It was that delicious and in less than 15 minute it was on the table. Before we know it, the dish was gone.
I served it along side pan seared sea bass.
