    Spicy, soft & aromatic – eggplant with a difference

    This Chinese-inspired garlic eggplant brings Asian flair to your kitchen. After salting, the eggplant is fried until soft and lightly browned. Combined with ginger, spring onions, and a spicy soy sauce and sugar blend, it creates an intense flavor experience. Cornstarch gives the sauce a slightly thickened consistency. Perfect with rice or as a flavorful side dish. A quick, plant-based dish that will win over even eggplant skeptics—and requires no exotic ingredients.
