Savoury stir-fried brinjals


Ingredients:
2 to 3 brinjals (depending on the size)
2 tbsp dried prawns (wash, soak, drain and chopped)
1 tbsp chopped shallots
1 tbsp chopped garlic

Seasoning:
4 tbsp tomato sauce
2 tbsp chilli sauce
1 tbsp light soya sauce
1/4 cup water (add more if you prefer more sauce in the dish)

Method:

  1. Wash and cut the brinjals into strips just before cooking.
  2. Heat up enough oil in wok, deep-fry brinjals until soft or according to your desired liking. Dish up and put aside.
  3. Leave 2 tbsp of oil in wok, saute dried prawns, shallots and garlic until fragrant.  Add in seasoning, brinjals and stir-fry till the sauce and the brinjals  are well mixed.
  4. If you prefer the dish to be less sourish, from the tomato sauce, then you can sprinkle a bit of sugar and give it a quick stir.
  5. Dish up, garnish with  slice red chilli, spring onion and serve!
Brinjals can be cooked in many different ways, apart from the normal stir-fry in Chinese cooking, it can also be baked, boiled or deep-fried coated in batter.  It makes delicious dish by itself as well as with other ingredients.  Will share more of it soon.
