Oyster Sauce Eggplant with Yardlong Beans

Oyster Sauce Eggplant with Yardlong Beans

This vibrant and flavorful stir-fry combines tender yardlong beans and succulent eggplants in a savory garlic-infused sauce. The dish starts with fresh yardlong beans and eggplants, cut into uniform pieces for even cooking. Aromatic garlic paste and scallion flowers add depth, while oyster sauce and soy sauces create a rich umami glaze. Quick stir-frying locks in the vegetables' natural sweetness, and a splash of water helps meld the flavors under a high-heat steam. Finished with a sprinkle of scallion flowers for freshness, this dish is a perfect balance of texture and taste—crisp beans, silky eggplant, and a savory-sweet sauce. Ideal as a side or over rice, it's a simple yet irresistible way to enjoy garden-fresh produce with bold Asian-inspired flavors.
