Ingredients:

1) 4 Chinese eggplants (620g);
2) 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp freshly chopped green onion, 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic, 2-3 sliced fresh ginger, 1 tbsp fermented chili bean paste, 1 tbsp sweet flour paste
3) ½ tsp salt;
4) 2 tsp light soy sauce, 2 tsp premium soy sauce, 1/6 tsp chicken broth mix, 1/6 tsp ground white peper;

Directions:

1: Trim stem off from the eggplants. Rinse and cut each eggplant across into 3 equal lengths, then cut lengthwise into 6 equal portions (Picture 1). Soak in salted water until ready to cook. This removes the bitterness and prevents eggplant from soaking up too much oil during cooking.
