Eggplant in Spicy Garlic Sauce
..is a lot easier than I expected.
Made some following the Jing Jing recipe (I wonder if Jing Jing is
still there?). Time-consuming to fry the eggplant in small batches,
but low-maintenance and easy to make. Burned my fingers pretty
badly with spattered oil - one finger blistered and popped in
seconds. Kind of interesting, but not recommended.
One eggplant soaked up about half a cup of peanut oil (don't
tell Ginger, she doesn't want to know). Anyone know a good way to
make this dish without frying? Baked eggplant is tasty but tough.
Microwaved sounds too disgusting to try. How else?
