Main Ingredients- 87g ground pork
- 1.5 eggplants
- 1 handful green onions (chopped)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently press the ground pork with paper towels to remove any excess blood. This step helps to eliminate any gamey odors and ensures a cleaner taste in the final dish.
Step 2
Heat a large pan over medium heat, add a little cooking oil, and sauté the chopped green onions and minced garlic until fragrant. This process infuses the oil with their aromatic flavors. Cook for about 1 minute until aromatic.
Step 3
Once the aromatic oil is ready, add the drained ground pork. Stir in the sugar and cooking wine. Break up any clumps of pork with a spatula and stir-fry until the pork is nicely browned and coated with the sweet seasoning. Continue cooking until the pork is no longer pink.
Step 4
When the ground pork is mostly cooked, add the red pepper flakes and black pepper. Stir-fry together for about 30 seconds, making sure not to burn the spices. This helps to coat the pork evenly with the seasonings and deepen the flavor.
Step 5
Push the cooked ground pork to one side of the pan. Pour the soy sauce into the empty space. Let the soy sauce simmer and slightly caramelize, creating a richer, more complex flavor base. This technique adds a wonderful depth to the sauce. Simmer for about 20 seconds.
Step 6
Finally, add the chopped eggplants to the pan. Pour in the oyster sauce and stir everything together to combine. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggplants are tender and have softened. Your delicious oyster sauce eggplant stir-fry is now ready! Serve hot over steamed rice for a delightful meal.
