Another answer to the cooking tricks: I just found a chinese lady soaking the pieces in water with a hint of salt and vinegar for 20 min. To prevent 'em from soaking up much oil, later. Her channel is: CiCi Li - Asian home cooking
Sure gonna try that, too! Greetings from the far north of Germany!

In answer to your question for tricks to cook aubergine... In the past, recipes called for aubergines to be sliced and salted before cooking to reduce their bitterness. As modern varieties are much less bitter, that is no longer necessary, however I find that it also used to toughen them slightly and the firmness meant that they would not fall apart so much once cooked. Deep frying also gives this as the caramelized outside helps the aubergine stay together. What I now do is much healthier, I put my cut aubergine on kitchen paper on a plate and microwave them on high, for 5 minutes. I find this extracts the liquid and again makes them firmer. Perfect for braising or stewing. For example I add them to Mapo Tofu if I don't have any Tofu. Try it! You may be surprised and its a handy technique for cooking aubergine.

It looks delicious! I miss The Bamboo House, here in Tallahassee. They had the BEST eggplant and garlic dish!

thanks for this vegetarian recipe. i sometimes toss in scallions when browning the eggplant. so yummy either way.

Alternative to frying eggplant is to cut and cook them in pressure cooker for 7-8 minutes. Comes out very soft and ready for stir fry.

I don't like eggplant in most American recipes, and have had many bad experiences with the rubbery/greasy texture, and but this looks delicious and promising! Thanks for sharing.

Great dish! It turned out well for me even without a recipe (the link you provide doesn't work, nor did a search on your site).

I love nasu dengaku, baked scored aubergine halves with miso marinade. Nice, clean, non-rubbery technique. It's nice too to serve aubergine as a sharing plate

One of my most favorite vegetables, Jeremy! Fabulous that it is the star of your dish! =]

Take a shot every time Jeremy says aubergine

[iteerrex]

[ascott]

What wok is this? It looks like exactly what I want and have been struggling to find

[spicerack]

This is what I have been waiting for. Thank you.

Looks very tasty, personally I would chuck a good handful of slides red chillies in with the Aubergines at the start to give it a kick.

Instead of mushroom vegetarian stir fry sauce can we use traditional oyster sauce?

[dang]

Have been enjoying your vids👍..could you cook something using an electric wok for those of us without your setup, thanks!!

I've tried this recipe using oyster sauce for stir fry sauce? I'm in USA, new England area, it's good but, here used to get and can't since covid and places closed, so on a hunt.. it's always been dark black, sweet, flavorful, more ginger taste than garlic??? Might try next time adding hoisin and black bean&garlic sauce, more ginger?? Idk? Any help? I'm keeping yours, and my spicy eggplant recipes, but sometimes want those idk memories? And we eat a lot of eggplant, especially in summer.. tyvm tc
