Stir-fried Eggplants with Egg & Tomatoes

I learnt this recipe from a Filipino friend … hmm so can I call this a Filipino recipe? ;p

Stir fry eggplants with egg and tomatoes

I know my photo doesn’t look that flattering; but trust me it tastes better than it looks =P

When I was parboiling the eggplant slices, it started to rain heavily and I went to shift the plants along the corridor and forgot about the pot of boiling eggplants… so I may have over-cooked the eggplant a leeettttle bit :x

But do try this if you like eggplants … this is such a quick and tasty stir fry! :-)

Ingredients
(Serves 2)
1 small eggplant, cut to about 1 cm thickness
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 tbsp chopped large onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small tomato, diced
1 tbsp dried basil
1 to 1/2 tsp light soy sauce

Directions
1. Add the eggplant slices to a pot of boiling water and parboil for about 3 minutes, till the eggplant slices are slightly softened. Rinse the eggplant with cold water (to stop cooking), drain and set aside.

2. In a wok, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil & saute the garlic, basil and onion, till the latter is slightly transparent.

3. Add the eggplant, egg, light soy sauce and tomatoes and stir to cook evenly.

  5. Sometimes photography can be so difficult! But I always say that it’s about how the food tastes, and I’m sure this tastes better than it looks.

  7. Some things are easier to photograph than others, and it doesn’t help that the weather is so rotten. I’m glad you posted this in addition to your previous recipe because all three of us love eggplant.

  12. I’m not a fan of eggplant but yours is actually tempting me. You succeeded!

  13. Your anti-spam is freaky. Today I got pear. And last night I was totally craving it!

    I oversteamed my eggplant dish too. Why does eggplant lose that beautiful purple color when it’s cooked? :(

    By Wandering Chopsticks on Sep 4, 2008

  14. I think eggplant can be overcooked easily. I usually grill it or stiryfry it with sambal-this is another version to try!

  15. tigerfish:: Yay!! haha :| :P

    WC:: Ok now this anti-spam is freaking ME out too :? 8O You should visit here more often for your daily fortune, haha :wink:

    daphne:: Ah and I think I will try your version with sambal too!~ :wink:
