Stir-fried Eggplant with Green Beans

Stir-fried Eggplant with Green Beans

This savory stir-fry combines tender eggplants and crisp green beans for a deliciously balanced dish. The eggplants are first fried to golden perfection, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture, while the green beans are blanched to retain their vibrant color and crunch. Aromatic scallions add a fragrant depth, and a simple yet flavorful sauce of soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and salt ties everything together. The secret to this recipe lies in the roll-cut eggplant pieces, which maximize surface area for better caramelization, and the quick blanching of the green beans to keep them fresh and crisp. Perfect as a side or a light main, this dish is a delightful harmony of textures and flavors—sweet, tangy, and savory in every bite. Quick to prepare yet packed with taste, it’s a must-try for vegetable lovers!
