Eggplant with Ground Pork

This savory Minced Meat Eggplant Stir-Fry is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender steamed eggplant with rich, spicy minced meat for a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The eggplant is steamed until soft, then paired with a fragrant stir-fried sauce made with minced meat, ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers, and nutty sesame seeds. A splash of cooking wine removes any gaminess, while bean paste and soy sauce create a deeply savory, umami-packed glaze. For extra heat, a touch of chili powder enhances the spice level, but it’s easily adjustable for milder tastes. Finished with fresh scallions for a pop of color and aroma, this dish is irresistibly delicious and pairs wonderfully with steamed rice. Whether you love bold, spicy flavors or prefer a milder version, this easy-to-make stir-fry is sure to become a favorite!
