Eggplant with Green Beans

Eggplant with Green Beans

This **Stir-Fried Eggplant and Green Beans** recipe is a savory, aromatic dish that brings together tender eggplant, crisp green beans, and a punch of garlic and chili for a flavorful meal. The eggplant is fried until perfectly soft, absorbing just the right amount of oil for a rich texture, while the green beans are charred slightly for a delightful crunch. A fragrant sauté of garlic and chili adds depth, enhanced by a savory blend of oyster sauce and light soy sauce. The final reduction creates a glossy, umami-packed glaze that coats every bite. Perfect as a side or a main with rice, this dish is a quick, delicious way to enjoy fresh vegetables with bold, satisfying flavors. Easy to make yet impressive in taste, it’s a must-try for any home cook!
