Stir-fried Eggplants with Egg and Tomatoes

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

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.
