Eggplant With Garlic Sauce And Sticky Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook and stir the eggplant until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the water, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed. Meanwhile, mix sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and oyster sauce in a bowl until sugar and cornstarch have dissolved. Stir sauce into the eggplant, making sure to evenly coat the eggplant. Cook until the sauce has thickened.

Steps:

• Place the eggplant in a large bowl. Sprinkle all over with salt and toss. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch until the cornstarch dissolves. Stir in 3/4 cup water, the garlic and the soybean and chili pastes.
• In a large wok or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the pork, season with salt and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate.
• Dab eggplant dry with paper towels. In the wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium high until it just starts to smoke. Add the eggplant, and sauté until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the soy-sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Once the sauce thickens, add the pork and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a lively simmer until the sauce thickens and the eggplant is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt. If you choose, serve with rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Wipe the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with sesame oil.
• Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot, add 1 cup of the broth, and stir to make an even layer.
• Add the eggplant and sprinkle with scallions. Salt liberally (1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon), keeping in mind that the soy sauce will also add quite a bit of salt.
• In a small bowl, mix the garlic, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sake, chili oil, cornstarch, the remaining 2 tablespoons of broth, and the red pepper flakes. Mix well to dissolve the cornstarch and sugar. Pour half the mixture over the eggplant, distributing evenly.
• Add the jicama and bell pepper to the pot. Scatter on the edamame. Pour the rest of the soy mixture over all.
• Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. If there are still crunchy spots in your rice, leave the pot covered for 3 to 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. If there is too much extra liquid, remove the lid and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
