Description
Sticky Garlic Eggplant is a delightful and flavorful dish that showcases the versatility of eggplant. This dish combines the inherent creaminess of eggplant with the bold flavors of garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar, resulting in a savory and sweet sticky glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the eggplant by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and patting them dry to remove excess moisture.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant pieces and fry until golden brown and tender. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
4. Return the fried eggplant to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and toss to coat evenly.
5. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure eggplant pieces are crispy by patting dry before frying and frying at medium-high heat.
