Minced Meat Sauce Eggplant

This savory Eggplant with Minced Meat recipe is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender eggplant with flavorful minced meat in a rich, aromatic sauce. The key to its deliciousness lies in the sticky minced meat, enhanced with salt and starch for a perfect texture, and the umami-packed bean paste that infuses every bite. Fresh ginger and garlic add a fragrant depth, while a touch of soy sauce and sugar balances the flavors. The eggplant becomes melt-in-your-mouth soft after simmering, soaking up all the savory juices. A final sprinkle of fresh scallions brightens the dish, and a quick starch slurry thickens the sauce to glossy perfection. Quick to prepare yet packed with bold flavors, this stir-fry is a comforting and satisfying meal that pairs perfectly with steamed rice. Try it for a hearty, home-cooked taste that’s sure to become a favorite!
