Eggplant Stir-Fried with Green Beans

This savory stir-fried eggplant and green beans recipe is a quick, flavorful dish that’s both simple and delicious. The key to its rich taste lies in the fermented bean paste and bean sauce, which add a deep umami kick. By soaking the eggplant first, it absorbs less oil during cooking, keeping the dish light yet satisfying. Stir-fried over high heat, the eggplant turns tender while the green beans stay crisp, creating a perfect texture contrast. A touch of light soy sauce enhances the flavors, while a drizzle of sesame oil at the end adds a fragrant finish. Ready in just minutes, this dish is ideal for busy weeknights but tastes like restaurant-quality fare. The ingredients are easy to find at any supermarket, making it a convenient go-to for a tasty, home-cooked meal. Try it for a satisfying vegetarian dish that’s packed with bold, savory flavors!
