Braised Eggplant

This crispy fried eggplant stir-fry is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender eggplants with fresh tomatoes and green peppers for a burst of flavor and texture. The eggplants are coated in cornstarch and fried to golden perfection, creating a crispy exterior while staying soft inside. Stir-fried with aromatic scallions, ginger, and garlic, the dish gains a rich, savory depth. A tangy-sweet sauce made with soy sauce, sugar, and a splash of broth ties everything together, while a drizzle of sesame oil adds a nutty finish. What makes this recipe special is the contrast between the crispy eggplant and the juicy tomatoes, balanced by the slight heat from the peppers. Quick to prepare yet packed with umami, this stir-fry is perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal. Serve it hot over rice for a delicious, wholesome dish that’s sure to impress!
