aideA week or so ago, I attempted to make Leader's Spicy Eggplant recipe but didn't have all the ingredients so I made some subs and alterations but it came out DELICIOUS. I hope I can remember all the changes I made.
2 eggplant, chopped into chunks and soaked in water
1 clove of garlic, grated
¼ tsp doubanjiang
2 tsp sasame oil
200g ground chicken
100ml water
1/2 cube chicken stock (I think? Maybe it was a whole one.), dissolved in the 100ml water
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp sake
2 tsp tianmianjiang
1 tsp potato starch
1 tbsp water
1. Dry the eggplant with paper towel and fry in a little oil. (The first time I did it, I cooked them until they were starting to go transparent, but then they turned mushy when I added them to the rest so you don't really need to fry them at the start. Unless you do it like Ohno and deep-fry the shit out of them.)
2. In a frying pan, over low heat, fry garlic and doubanjiang in the sesame oil. When the garlic starts to brown, add the chicken and cook through.
3. When the meat is browned, add water, sugar, soy sauce, sake and tianmianjiang. Mix well and bring to a boil. Add the eggplant back to the frying pan.
4. Dissolve the potato starch in the 1 tbsp of water. Add to the frying pan while stirring the contents continuously. Mix well. Turn into a serving dish, or spoon over cooked rice.
I think that's what I did... whatever I did, it turned out amazing.
I got wonderful comments on my fic this morning. :) Happy dance! I'm doing laundry now, one load down! Happy dance! It's a wonderful warm sunny day. Happy happy dance! I should go out to the grocery store and run errands but I'll wait until after this load is done. I don't want wet clothes sitting in the machine for too long or they'll start to smell funky. Maybe I'll translate a song while I wait.
