Eggplant Stir Fry



I love my eggplants but I just feel I don't know enough eggplant recipes to really explore all its potential but nevermind, I do what I can for now...:) This dish goes real well with white rice (staple food in this household) and most of all, satisfied most of the food groups required for a healthy balance. Even for Ed who claims he doesn't like eggplants (although I had caught him eating AND even ordering it when we eat out!!!) likes it! Most of all, it's rather easy to make, so that takes a bit of thinking work out of the equation!

Recipe
Ingredients
-4 Japanese Eggplant
-Shrimps, Shelled
-Green Onions, diced
-Garlic, minced
-Oil
-Mushroom flavored Sauce
-Sesame Oil
-Salt, Sugar and Pepper

Method
-Rinsed and dry eggplants, slice diagonally.
-At this point, you can either do a quick dip in hot oil or place them lightly salted, peppered and olive oiled in the oven for about 10 mins. Either way's fine.
-Heat very little oil (approx 1/2 tsp) in a wok, add garlic and shrimps.
-Fry till shrimps are almost done, add eggplants.
-Quickly seasoned it with mushroom sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar and pepper and toss a couple more times before adding in the green onions and then dishing out to plate for serving.
